Barcelona sit top of the table on a long winning run across competitions, with an increasingly fluid attack and improved defensive solidity and will be confident at home. Real Sociedad have shown signs of recovery after an inconsistent spell and remain outside the top four; players such as Mikel Oyarzabal and Takefusa Kubo are indicated as key to their wide play, while midfield pressing and defensive compactness will be vital. Historically Barcelona have dominated this fixture, particularly at home, and a positive result for Sociedad would be a major statement that could reignite their push for European qualification.
