Following their humbling defeat to Granada last weekend, Real Sociedad will look to return to winning ways when they play hosts to Barca. With their eyes on Europa League football next season, a win in this contest is imperative to their season ambitions.

Meanwhile, Barcelona continue to pile pressure on Atletico Madrid as the title race gets more intense than expected. On a superb unbeaten streak, they will aim to continue this swashbuckling form, especially after sinking Huesca at Camp Nou.

Real Sociedad vs Barcelona Team News

Real Sociedad's last outing saw them fall to a 1-0 defeat at Granada. Although Real Sociedad were in charge of proceedings from the start, both sides went in at interval on level terms. But shortly after the start of the second period, the hosts took the lead courtesy of a German Sanchez's goal. As the clock wound down, Granada held on to their lead, securing maximum points.

Consequently, this loss brought their seven-game unbeaten streak to an unexpected end. And having accrued a total of 45 points from 27 league games, Real Sociedad currently sit in 5th-place on the league table, as they continue to gun for continental football next season.

Furthermore, Los Txuri-Urdin sit level on points with 6th-placed Real Betis - albeit they hold a game advantage over Betis. With his side's position at the Europa League spot being threatened, Imanol Alguacil will urge his men to get the job done against the Spanish giants.

Barcelona are yet to suffer defeat in the La Liga this year, winning eleven of their 12 league matches so far in 2021. This astounding run has kept them in the race for the title, especially with Atletico Madrid fluffing their lines in recent weeks.

Having amassed a total of 59 points from 27 league games, the Blaugrana presently sit in 2nd-place on the league standings. Furthermore, they sit four points adrift table toppers Atletico Madrid, and two points clear of bitter rivals Real Madrid who sit in 3rd-spot.

In their last league match, Barcelona dealt a 4-1 drubbing to Huesca at Camp Nou. The hosts were dominant from start to finish, going in at break with a 2-1 lead. Shortly after restart, they took the game beyond Huesca courtesy of an Oscar Mingueza's header. Lionel Messi wrapped up the victory with 90th minute goal, sealing all three points for Barcelona.

Barcelona came from behind to beat Real Sociedad at Camp Nou in the reverse fixture last December. Willian Jose's opener was cancelled by Jordi Alba's 31st minute equalizer. With few minutes to go in the first half, De Jong claimed the lead for Barcelona who went on to win the contest with a 2-1 scoreline.

Real Sociedad vs Barcelona Predictions

Real Sociedad have been floundering lately, winning just two of their last five matches in all competitions. But their recent home record is quite impressive, winning each of their last three matches on their turf.

Quite similarly, Barcelona have won each of their last eight away matches in the league. Given Barcelona's form, it's hard to see how a faltering Real Sociedad side would stop them. Hence, we are backing the visitors to come out on top in this contest.
