Barcelona are the favourites of course. Ten goals against Real Madrid and AS Roma speak for itself. This is a big temptation to bet on a solid win of the Catalans. But as we know, Real Sociedad have changed their manager – now the team is ruled by the former Barcelona’s youth team coach and former Barcelona player, Eusebio Sakristan. He was also working with Frank Rijkaard in Barcelona’s main team. Real Socieded had a comfortable win over Sevillia with him. Sakristan knows how to play against Barcelona but even with this knowleage the task is too hard. Barcelona can easily create scoring chances and goals. Their movement is perfectly. But I can’t say that they will overrun the opponent.
Real Sociedad will stay in defense and try to counterattack. This strategy has a chance to work out. I don’t have doubts in Barcelona’s win, but I want to bet on Real Sociedad with asian handicap +3. If they lose by three goals it will be a refund. But I hope Barcelona will win hardly with 1 or 2 goal difference.
