Real Sociedad, Recent FormReal Sociedad had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 2-2 draw against Rayo Vallecano. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Rayo Vallecano who had 16 attempts and 7 on target.
Their boss Imanol Alguacil has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 7 goals conceded across those matches. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 10 of their 11 games this season.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 15 games in a row.
Mikel Oyarzabal will be looking forward to more goals after clocking up an impressive 6 goals in the past 6 league matches for Real Sociedad.
Barcelona, Recent FormThe Barcelona squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Real Madrid, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Real Madrid, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 10 of their 11 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from Blaugrana, having been undefeated in their last 5 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
Robert Lewandowski will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Barcelona.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-2 win for Real Sociedad.
Blaugrana will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 14 encounters with Sociedad. Barca have a good attacking record away to Txuri-Urdin in the league, having scored a total of 11 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 3.67 goals per game.
In the league, Barca has a good track record when they travel to Sociedad, getting the better of them to win their last 3 games.
Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ander Barrenetxea (Hamstring), Martín Merquelanz (Knee), Álvaro Odriozola (Muscle), André Silva (Muscle) and Kieran Tierney (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Xavi Hernández has a number of injury concerns in his Barca squad to contend with: Frenkie de Jong (Sprained ankle), Pedro Pedri (Muscle) and Sergi Roberto (Calf)
