Barcelona vs Real Sociedad Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast

The Blaugrana were completely outplayed by Girona last week

It had been a great start to the season for Barcelona, but a poor finish has led to their lack of success. However, the Blaugrana will be glad to keep Xavi after he initially thought he would leave at the end. In their last match, the team lost to Girona and will be looking to return to winning ways. They are third in the table and can finish in second place. 

Real Sociedad secured a comprehensive win over Las Palmas in their last match to return to winning ways. The team has performed well in the last two matches, losing only once in the last seven matches which has put them in sixth place. It has been confirmed that they will not be able to qualify for the Champions League places but will have a chance to qualify for the Europa League.

Player to Watch

Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)

Lewandowski has scored 17 goals in 31 league matches for the Blaugrana in another productive season with the club. As well as providing eight assists to the team, he has become a valuable member of Xavi’s team because he has the experience of stepping up and leading the team in big games. 

Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad) 

It has been his consistent performance throughout the campaign that has made him a fan favourite for the last few years. This season is no different, as he has scored 9 goals in 29 matches and also provided 2 assists for the team. Besides doing defensive duties, Oyarzabal brings composure to the team in the attacking third.
