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

Barca are crushing the points table already.

Tabletoppers FC Barcelona will be hosted by Real Sociedad for their 13th LaLiga 2024-25 game next. The stakes are very different for the two sides, with Real Sociedad aiming to shock giants Barca and rise up the ranks, while Barca eyeing another win to further solidify their top spot.

Real Sociedad are having a below-par season. They ended in the top six last season, but are trailing at the 11th rank now. The club have been hot and cold since the start of the season. They have four wins, three draws, and five losses so far.
