Latest team news for Barcelona vs Real Sociedad
Barcelona continues to suffer from squad losses as first-choice goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen and young talent Marc Bernal remain sidelined due to long-term injuries. However, good news has arrived for the Catalan club as Andreas Christensen has recovered and is fit to play.
Coach Hansi Flick is likely to make some adjustments to the starting lineup compared to the Copa del Rey match against Atletico Madrid. Ronald Araujo, Gavi, and Robert Lewandowski – who didn't start the previous game – are expected to return to the starting XI to strengthen the team. This means Inigo Martinez, Dani Olmo, and Ferran Torres may have to settle for the bench. Meanwhile, midfielder Frenkie de Jong will retain his starting spot after his recent impressive performances.
On the other side of the pitch, Real Sociedad will be without Sheraldo Becker and Takefusa Kubo due to suspensions. However, the good news is that key central defender Igor Zubeldia will return after serving his suspension from the match against Leganes.
In defense, Javi Lopez is expected to return to the starting lineup at left-back, while Sergio Gomez could be used on the wing. In midfield, Martin Zubimendi – a player currently being targeted by Barcelona – will remain key. Up front, Mikel Oyarzabal may be chosen as the central striker instead of Orri Oskarsson to increase attacking versatility.

Latest football match prediction: Barcelona vs Real Sociedad
Barcelona are showing consistent form in La Liga, with 17 wins, 3 draws, and only 5 losses after 25 rounds, temporarily leading the table with 54 points, slightly ahead of Real Madrid thanks to their head-to-head record. However, the title race is heating up as Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao are close behind, creating fierce competition in the final stages of the season.
The Catalan team's form has been impressive, winning all five of their last La Liga matches and maintaining a six-game unbeaten streak. Despite a dramatic 4-4 draw against Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-final, they still demonstrated their resilience and explosive potential. Notably, while Barcelona lost 0-1 to Real Sociedad in the first leg of this season's match, they had previously defeated them 2-0 in a similar encounter last season.
As for Real Sociedad, the Basque team also just went through a difficult match in the Copa del Rey semi-final, losing 0-1 to Real Madrid. However, in La Liga, they are gradually regaining confidence after their 3-0 victory against Leganes last weekend.
Compared to Barcelona, Real Sociedad has been inconsistent in La Liga this season, currently sitting 9th with 37 points, just one point behind the European qualification spots. However, competing for a Champions League spot through La Liga is a significant challenge, as Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao have opened up a considerable gap. Therefore, focusing on the Europa League – where they will face Manchester United in the round of 16 – might be a more viable path to securing a Champions League spot next season.
In terms of away performance, Real Sociedad has only averaged results, having earned 14 points from 12 away games, while Barcelona, despite having home advantage, has lost 3 matches at Camp Nou this season. This makes the match unpredictable and promises to be exciting.
