Latest Real Sociedad vs Barcelona football review
Real Sociedad will come into this game following a 2-1 defeat to Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League, a result that left them with just four points from four games and down to 25th in the table.
Imanol Alguacil's side have also struggled to maintain consistent form in La Liga this season, with just four wins, three draws and five defeats from 12 games, currently sitting in 11th place with 15 points. They are just six points behind Villarreal in fourth, but only four ahead of Leganes in 15th, suggesting their situation could change quickly.
Although Real Sociedad have a solid defense with just 10 goals conceded in 12 games, the third best defensive record in La Liga, they have had a big problem scoring with just 10 goals scored, the weakest offensive record of any team in La Liga. This makes it even harder for them to compete for higher positions in the rankings. In addition, the Basque team have had the worst home record this season, picking up just 4 points from 6 games, a factor that will make things difficult when they host Barcelona.
Barcelona, meanwhile, are in impressive form, especially away from home, where they have won most of their games. The Catalans have not lost to Real Sociedad at the Anoeta in La Liga since April 2016, and have won 10 of the last 11 meetings between the two sides in all competitions. With their strong away form, Barcelona will go into this game with confidence.
Barcelona are currently on a seven-game winning streak, including a convincing 5-2 win over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League, a result that has seen them sit sixth in the table. In La Liga, Hansi Flick's side are top of the table with 11 wins and 1 loss from 12 games, scoring 40 goals, the best attacking record in the league. Robert Lewandowski is having an excellent season with 19 goals and 2 assists from 16 games. Raphinha has also been instrumental with 12 goals and 10 assists, while young talent Lamine Yamal continues to shine with 6 goals and 8 assists in the first 16 games of the season.
