Pick:1x2
FC Barcelona @2.20
OU Under (2.5) @2.00
Analysis:
Real Sociedad goes head to head against FC
Barcelona on Thursday.
Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad lost a great chance to get
into La Liga's top Five, even with a goalless draw against Real Betis extending
their unbeaten league run(W3, D2). Qualifying for Europe for the third time
running looks as difficult as ever, and they find it difficult to win against
big teams this season including Barcelona 4-2. Extending that would give them
their first LL clean sheet against Barcelona since a 1-0 win in April 2016,
which was also the last time Sociedad won a league H2H.
FC Barcelona
Saw two defeats in their last two matches,
with the UEFA Europa League loss to Frankfurt earlier this month has made the
league their only way to the Champion League for next season. The recent loss
against Cadiz was 1-0 halted an unbeaten 15 game(W11, D4).
Barcelona has won more away games so far
under Xavi and securing the win means a lot to the club, trophyless this season
again.
Prediction
Real Sociedad has been defeated by
Barcelona in their last four meetings but teams have had difficulties in
scoring in their last match.
