Barcelona on the verge of five away wins against Sociedad.
In a classic clash at the Reale Arena, Real Sociedad aim to defy the odds against a high-flying Barcelona side that seeks a historic fifth consecutive away victory in La Liga on Sunday, November 10th.
Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad face Barcelona after a 2-1 defeat to Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League on Thursday. This disappointing loss followed their 2-0 win over Sevilla in La Liga. They aim to build on that victory as they welcome the Catalans to the Reale Arena this weekend.
Imanol Alguacil’s side sits just one point outside the top ten ahead of Sunday’s clash. Though they are in 11th place with 15 points, they are only three points behind 8th-placed Mallorca. Sunday’s game presents an opportunity for Sociedad to climb the table, despite facing challenges.
Sociedad's recent form against Barcelona in La Liga shows only one victory in their last 16 meetings. Additionally, their performance this calendar year could lessen their chances against a strong opponent. They have managed just 25% wins at home in 2024.
A 4—3—3 formation might be expected, featuring Mikel Oyarzabal, Gomez, and Kubo in attack. However, Hamari Traoré and Nayef Aguerd are both ruled out, and four others, including Ander Barrenetxea, are doubtful for the encounter.
FC Barcelona
Barcelona are coming off a four-game winning run in La Liga, highlighted by last weekend’s 3-1 victory over Espanyol in the Derbi Barceloní. Their midweek triumph with a 5-2 win over Crvena Zvezda in the UEFA Champions League placed them in 6th place in the group stage of the revamped competition.
Now, back in La Liga, the Catalans aim to extend their winning streak to five games as they visit Real Sociedad. Currently holding a 9-point lead at the top of the table, Barcelona will keenly watch to see if 2nd-placed Madrid stumbles against Osasuna on Saturday.
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last eight La Liga visits to Real Sociedad, with six wins and two draws, equalling their best unbeaten away run against the hosts in the competition. They have also won their last four La Liga away games against Real Sociedad and seek a historic fifth consecutive away victory against them.
The team is expected to field a 4-2-3-1 formation with Lewandowski leading the attack. However, Hansi Flick will have to manage without six players, including Ferran Torres.
