Barcelona hosts Real Sociedad in a game that is more significant to the guests than Blaugrana. Sociedad needs points to stay in the place that will lead to the Europa League. Barca is third, secured a UCL spot, and has no pressure. We just might see them in a bit looser mode.
Before Betting on Barcelona vs. Real Sociedad
Barcelona lost to Girona last weekend, even though Xavi’s boys led at the halftime. They would allow three goals in the second 45 minutes for a 4-2 loss, which pushed them down to third place, allowing Girona to jump over the Catalan giants. Counting in the UEFA Champions League, this was the third loss for Blaugrana in the past four events.
All of these events were extremely efficient, having at least five goals, with both teams netting. Barcelona’s defense was highly problematic, allowing at least two goals in each event and showing numerous weaknesses. Last year, they had one of the best backlines in Europe, which became highly unstable during this campaign.
Following three games without a win, Sociedad finally triumphed. Its victory over Las Palmas, 2-0, kept them in the zone that leads to the Europa League. When looking at it in general, Real lost in just one meeting of the past seven, but this stretch during which they’ve won just two points out of possible nine was unpleasant.
Sociedad plays solid football away from home, winning seven of 17 outings, having six ties and four defeats. Their goal difference is positive, 23-17, and they are currently on a three-game unbeaten streak.

Barcelona has no pressure and might play a bit more casual football, while Real needs at least one point here. The guests played tough games and were known for their formidable defense in the first part of the year. The pick here would be under 2.5 goals because of Real, who will probably close and try to take one point from Barcelona.
