Match Overview
Real Sociedad will have to play out of their skins in order to challenge Barcelona when they travel to Camp Nou on Saturday for a match in La Liga. With the title already wrapped up, Barcelona will hope that they can give their youngsters an opportunity to get game time and add some experience to their resumes. For Sociedad, though, this game is very important.
Key Highlights
Sociedad, who are ranked fourth in the league table at the time of writing, will hope to get a positive result by the end of the evening as that will help them cement their place in the top four of the La Liga standings and qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. Barcelona, despite having no horse in this race and having already won the title, will not let their opponents win this game cheaply.
Injury Report
While young Gavi has been suspended for Barcelona, Real Sociedad will be missing out on the services of Umar Sadiq, Martin Merquelanz and Brais Mendez for this match. Barcelona will have a clear edge over their opponents given that they have almost their full-strength squad.
Prediction
We expect both teams to score in this match. Barcelona have a big edge over Sociedad, but if they field their reserves for this game, they will not be the clear-cut favourites to win it. For their part, Real Sociedad have not lost in 5 matches and are also ranked 5 in shots on target per match (4.7 shots). Barcelona, on the other hand, have kept the most number of clean sheets in this competition.
