Atletico Madrid Form And Lineup
The Madrid side reached the Copa del Rey final by knocking out Barcelona in the semi-finals. After a resounding 4:0 win in the first leg, the Blaugrana almost completed a remontada (0:3). This proved that Simeone's team can still be vulnerable. After the cup ties the Mattress Makers put together three wins in a row, but then came a slump: five defeats in their last six outings, each with at least two goals conceded. Musso has done a decent job replacing the injured Oblak in goal, but the Italian is still some way off the Slovenian's level.
The Mattress Makers have conceded fewer than two goals against Real Sociedad in 9 of the last 10 matches.
Atletico Madrid have scored in nine matches in a row.
Antoine Griezmann is among the top three scorers in this season's Copa del Rey, with five goals.
Potential lineup (4-4-2): Musso — Ruggeri, Pubil, Le Normand, Llorente — Lookman, Cardoso, Koke, Simeone — Alvarez, Griezmann.
Out: Gimenez, Oblak, Ganzko, Barrios (injury).
Real Sociedad Form And Lineup
Real Sociedad's path in the Copa del Rey has been much tougher. The Basque side knocked out Athletic, Osasuna and Alaves on their way to the final — all La Liga clubs. In the cup, Matarazzo's team lead the way for clean sheets at the back (four). At the same time, Sociedad have scored in every cup match, and their scoring run in all competitions has reached 21 games.
Real Sociedad have scored in the second half in each of their last six matches.
The Basque club have picked up the most yellow cards in the Copa del Rey (17).
Matarazzo's team have scored at least two goals in four of their last five matches.
Potential lineup (4-2-3-1): Remiro — Sergio Gomez, Caleta-Car, Martin, Aramburu — Soler, Turrientes — Barrenetxea, Kubo, Sucic — Oyarzabal.
Out: Odriozola, Gorrochategui, Zubeldia, Herrera (injury).
