Real Sociedad take on the visitors Barcelona in the round 13 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, November 10th at Reale Arena (San Sebastian).
Under Imanol Alguacil, "Txuri-urdinak" has built a reputation for strong results. Alguacil led the team to its first Copa del Rey since the 1980s — when he was a youth player. In 2023, they finally climbed to 4th in La Liga, securing a return to the Champions League. Real Sociedad topped their group and reached the knockout stages, though domestically, they only managed a 6th-place finish, trailing Athletic Bilbao and Girona, besides the three traditional giants. This season, they started the Europa League with a draw against Nice and a loss to Anderlecht, only managing a win against Maccabi Tel Aviv. In their last European fixture, they fell to Viktoria Plzeň. In La Liga, the team lost four of their first seven matches, with only one win. They improved briefly, beating Valencia and Girona and drawing with Atlético, though they recently suffered a 0-2 loss to Osasuna. However, they bounced back with a 2-0 win over Sevilla in their latest match.

Barcelona Finally Living Up to "More Than a Club". With Xavi, the "Blaugrana" won both the Super Cup and La Liga in 2023. But the following season didn't go as planned, and in the spring, Laporta ultimately decided to part ways with the club legend. Hans-Dieter Flick, now at the helm, has had an immediate impact. Despite limited summer signings — only Dani Olmo joined, while several key players like İlkay Gündoğan departed — Barça has been in great form. Aside from losses to Monaco in the Champions League and Osasuna in La Liga, they’ve won every other match. This included a 4-1 victory over Bayern Munich and a 4-0 rout of Real Madrid in El Clásico. In recent matches, Flick's side handily defeated Espanyol and Crvena Zvezda.
In their last 20 encounters, Real Sociedad has only managed one victory over Barcelona. Lewandowski and his teammates are simply on another level right now. Straightforwardly, the pick is for an away win.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win.
