Barcelona vs Real Sociedad: Match Preview

Xavi's Barcelona Aiming for Second Place

La Liga Match on Monday Night

WEB Barcelona face Real Sociedad in La Liga on Monday night. Xavi Hernández's Barcelona could reclaim the second spot in La Liga with a win over sixth-placed Real Sociedad on Monday.

A defeat against Girona in the last match marked Barcelona's third negative outcome in the past five. The hosts are the favourites according to the Barcelona vs Real Sociedad odds with an implied probability of 54.5%, but the bookies clearly consider this to be a dangerous match for the Catalan giants.

Real Sociedad are still fighting to ensure their place in the 2024/25 Europa League. A loss would all but end their hopes of finishing in the top six. Imanol Alguacil's men have lost just one of their last six away matches in La Liga, with their only defeat coming against Real Madrid in October.

This promises to be an entertaining and closely-fought match between two of La Liga's most in-form teams. Barcelona will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Girona, while Real Sociedad will be desperate to keep their European hopes alive.
