Barcelona - Real Sociedad predictions

Barcelona are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.29, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Barcelona and the 12.00 odds given to Real Sociedad to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

Blaugrana defeated Las Palmas fairly easily in the last round despite playing away. They were the hard favourites going in, after all. Still, it’s worth mentioning that the entire goal difference was built up in the second half, with the first half ending in a draw.

With 7.13 odds to win and home-field advantage, La Real were clearly likely to win their previous La Liga match before kick-off. The game went about as expected – they took an early lead and kept at it until they eventually won 3:0.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Blaugrana attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

The away team are heading into a very difficult matchup, but they should be aiming to eanr some points if they want to move onto the Europa League. They’ll need another 1 point to do so. Considering the odds are stacked against them and that the season’s end is already in sight, it’s hard to feel optimistic for them.

Despite the 1.29 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against Real Sociedad. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Sunday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.29 odds offer a decent return.
