Barcelona - Real Sociedad predictions

Barcelona should stroll into a fairly easy victory this Sunday. The odds are decidedly in their favour, with most top bookies pricing a home win at 1.30.

Considering what they’re up against, Real Sociedad can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 12.30 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The home team decisively won their previous La Liga match despite some unexpected difficulties in the first half. The 11.52 betting odds marked them as the hard favourites, though, so the final score of 1:3 wasn’t all that surprising.

Although they don’t always make it look easy, Sociedad tend to deliver results in the end. Their previous showdown against Mallorca saw them secure a narrow 1:0 home win after a rocky first half.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Blaugrana and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

It’s too early in the season to make reliable predictions about what the table will look like in the end. However, La Real will run into many issues if their goal is to earn the 5 points needed to get to the Europa League. They are clear underdogs in this upcoming showdown.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory Blaugrana secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Sunday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
