Match context
Barcelona are in superb form, riding a long winning streak across competitions, including in LaLiga. They head into this match top of the table and looking to consolidate their advantage at the summit.
Their consistency at the top of the table has been driven by an increasingly fluid attack and improved defensive solidity. Playing at home, they will be confident of extending their winning momentum and maintaining pressure on their title rivals.

Real Sociedad, meanwhile, have shown signs of recovery after an inconsistent spell earlier in the campaign. While they remain outside the top four, recent performances suggest growing cohesion and belief within the squad. A positive result against Barcelona would represent a major statement and could reignite their push for European qualification.
For Real Sociedad, creativity and pace in wide areas remain central to their game plan. Players such as Mikel Oyarzabal and Takefusa Kubo provide the spark in transition, while the midfield’s ability to press and disrupt Barcelona’s rhythm will be vital. Sociedad’s defensive unit will need to stay compact and alert for long spells without the ball.
