  • Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
  • Venue: Camp Nou (Barcelona)

After three seasons without title, Barcelona is back on the top in LaLiga. They were by far the most consistent team in the league, so Xavi's team won the title four league rounds before the end. Barcelona won the last three matches in a row, so their form is still very good. Last weekend, they won 4-2 on the road against Espanyol. 

Real Sociedad played very well this season. With four rounds until the end of the season, they are close to fulfilling their season-long goal of getting back into the Champions League. Real Sociedad are without a loss in the last five matches. In the previous game, they played 2-2 at home against Girona. That match was fairly even, so it is no wonder the teams split the points. 

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad pick: Under 2.5 goals

Barcelona have an impressive defense at the home stadium. They didn't allow any goals in the last four games at Camp Nou. Also, three of those four games went under 2.5 goals. 

Real Sociedad also have a good defense. They allowed only two goals in the last four matches. Also, we saw two or fewer goals in three of those four games. 

Barcelona and Real Sociedad had two h2h matches this season. In the league, Barca won 4-1, while in the cup, Xavi's team won 1-0.
