Real Sociedad take on the visitors Barcelona in the round 33 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, April 21th at Reale Arena (San Sebastian).
Real Sociedad are trying to cling to their dream - to qualify to the Champions League. Last season, Sociedad were in the lead for quite a long time, and in the end, they slipped to 5th place. Now it’s almost impossible to cling to the quartet. The team managed to gain momentum in the spring, and gain 10 points in 4 rounds (3 wins and a goalless draw on the Sevilla field), which, combined with the favorites' misfires, allowed hope to flare up again. But in the last round, it seems that Real Sociedad, in a head-to-head match with a neighbor in the table and a competitor, Betis, tripped each other up. They ended the meeting here, at Anoeta, with a goalless draw. This did not allow them to really get closer to the competitors.

Barcelona unexpectedly lost at home to Cadiz in la match andended their unbeaten streak in La Liga, which lasted 15 matches. During this streak, they crushed Real Madrid in Madrid and also defeated Atlético with Sevilla. n. And now the picture for Barcelona is rather unpleasant. They are still 2nd, but still Betis, in 5th place, is only 3 points behind - a distance of 1 win! Yes, there is a game in hand, but it still needs to be won. Barca also flopped with Eintracht last Thursday, conceding at the Camp Nou three times by the 67th minute. Attempts to fix something resulted in 2 goals against the Germans, but they did not help to avoid defeat and, most importantly, relegation from the Europa League. In general, a new recession has begun - did Xavi and his staff manage to figure out the causes of the problems and “stop” them?
Barcelona are unbeaten 6 head-to-heads in a row. In this stretch, they won four times, including 4-2 at the beginning of this season. Real Sociedad was left without five players, including Oyarzabal and Montreal. Barcelona have similar losses: Pedri, Piqué, Sergi Roberto, Umtiti and Fati. Bookmakers tend to give victory to Barcelona. But Real Sociedad will not give up so easily, so we may pick victory of Barcelona with handicap just to be safe.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with 0.0 handicap.
