For the Real Sociedad vs Barcelona prediction, we say Real Sociedad will win and this is why. Barcelona haven’t been their best in recent weeks, having only managed two wins in their last five LaLiga matches, unlike Real Sociedad, who won three and lost once in their last five and are a hard nut to crack at home. Plus, Real beat Barca away from home last term.
Prediction: Real Sociedad 1-0 Barcelona
We predict Real Sociedad to win either half against Barcelona, and this is why. Real Sociedad won four and drew one in their last five home matches in LaLiga and it’s relatively understandable why Imanol Alguacil’s side has been backed to win in at least one half.
Betting Tip: HWEH
Real Sociedad are in decent form, having lost just once in their last five LaLiga matches. They drew 2-2 away from home against Rayo Vallecano, but they are still not far off the top four as they occupy the 5th position with 19 points after 11 matches.
Barcelona have underperformed in recent weeks due to their injury-hit squad. However, they welcomed the likes of Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski back from injury issues last weekend but can both attacking players inspire Barca to bounce back to winning ways this weekend? Xavi Hernandez’s side occupy the 4th position with 24 points after 11 games.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Real Sociedad: Remiro, Munoz, Pacheco, Zubeldia, Traore, Zubimendi, Barrenetxea, Turrientes, Mendez, Kubo, Oyarzabal
Barcelona: Ter Stegan, Cancelo, Araujo, Christensen, Balde, Gavi, Gundogan, Lopez, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Felix
