Barcelona vs Real Sociedad Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Real Sociedad have won two of their last four LaLiga games against Blaugrana.

Barcelona are all set to host Real Sociedad in match week 26 of the LaLiga 2024-25 season. Hansi Flick’s men made their way to the top of the league table once again this season. They are on a good run, but will be a bit worried as Real Madrid have the same number of points as Blaugrana on the table. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are in ninth place.

Barca are coming in after their high-voltage contest against Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg. A total of eight goals were scored where both teams scored the same number of goals. Hansi Flick’s men have to give some importance to their defence as well, which felt very loose. Barcelona won their last LaLiga contest against Las Palmas.

Real Sociedad will be slightly low on confidence as they are about to face the table toppers, and also as they fell prey to Real Madrid in their last fixture. It was a Spanish Cup contest fixture. Real Sociedad will be away from home when they face Hansi Flick’s men. The visitors secured a dominating win in their last league outing against Leganes.

Players to Watch

Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)

The Poland national football team striker is the top goal scorer in the LaLiga 2024-25 at the moment. Robert Lewandowski is in good form and has scored 20 goals in 24 league matches this season. He will be a big threat to the opponent’s defence. Lewandowski knows how to find spaces in the opposition’s defence and his goal-scoring ability is second to none.

Ander Barrenetxea (Real Sociedad)

The Spanish forward is going to play an important role for Real Sociedad in the upcoming LaLiga fixture. However, it will not be easy for the visitors to get through Hansi Flick’s men. Leading the attack from the left, Ander Barrenetxea will be looking to create some difficulties for the hosts.
