Barcelona vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting tips
The tension is to be cut when FC Barcelona take on Real Sociedad in their own Camp Nou on Wednesday evening. In any case, the home team must win to not have to say goodbye to its title aspirations early, but the visitors from San Sebastian are working on a surprisingly strong season.
Barcelona:
These are dark times for the FC Barcelona supporters, as with a provisional eighth place in LaLiga, the Catalan superpower is in one of its worst seasons in club history. Last weekend, the Blaugrana almost got damaged at home against low flyer Levante, but Lionel Messi managed to shoot his employer to a stuffy 1-0 victory fifteen minutes before the end at the suggestion of Frenkie de Jong. “Well deserved,” said Ronald Koeman afterwards. “We can still become champions.”
Koeman of course tries to keep up his spirits, but it is clear that FC Barcelona still has a lot of problems. Especially against teams that keep many players behind the ball, the Catalans regularly run into problems, largely because they often have the same type of players at the front. Lionel Messi and Philippe Coutinho are more playmakers than finishers, while Antoine Griezmann struggles in the tight space. Real Sociedad, however, is a team that also wants to play football, so perhaps the FC Barcelona vanguard will come out better on Wednesday evening.
Real Sociedad:
With the 1-1 draw in-house against Eibar, Real Sociedad regained the lead in LaLiga last weekend. The Basques are in the lead together with Atletico Madrid, although La Real has already played two games more than the capitals. Nevertheless, Real Sociedad, which also managed to overwinter in the Europa League at the expense of AZ, is working on a fantastic season.
Real Sociedad can therefore work with confidence towards FC Barcelona, although the Basques have bad memories of the Camp Nou. The last twenty visits to this stadium all ended in defeat. However, this is the strongest Real Sociedad in years, while FC Barcelona is currently in a sporting crisis. So there are indeed opportunities for the visitors on Wednesday evening, who will still have to make do without star player Mikel Oyarzabal. David Silva’s playing is also uncertain.
