Dethroned Spanish champions Atletico Madrid will see out a disappointing campaign on Sunday with a clash against Real Sociedad at the San Mames on Sunday.

Los Rojiblancos conceded their La Liga crown to city rivals Real Madrid in limp fashion, having struggled to put up a sustained title assault.

Diego Simeone's charges are 17 points behind the champions, and following their last draw, will hope to end their campaign on a high.

Sociedad are no pushovers, though, famously ending their Copa Del Rey pursuit in the Round of 16 in January with a 2-0 victory at home.

La Real will now look to secure back-to-back wins over the capital side for the first time in over 16 years.

Sociedad are generally strong at home, and Atletico have got a taste of that once already this season.

However, given it's the final day, with nothing much at stake for either team, this could end in a low-scoring draw.
