Barcelona form and stats

Barcelona, who have the most scored goals (16) at home in La Liga, are steadily winning La Liga games and points here at Camp Nou. 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 6 games. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Barcelona, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Barcelona's last game was hosting Levante (placed 18th) and winning 1-0. Preceding that match was a Champions League defeat to Juventus (0-3).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Barcelona matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, two draws and one defeat (from four games).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Barcelona as they have a new game in only three days, a La Liga match thankfully also at home. Valencia are visiting.

Barcelona are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (16 goals in 6 games). Barcelona have conceded 6 in these home matches.

Real Sociedad form and stats

The away team, who have the most scored goals (23) in La Liga, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 4 wins, 2 draws and only 0 losses in the La Liga. With three draws in a row for Sociedad the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Sociedad played 1-1 against SD Eibar in their previous match. Ahead of that match was the Europa League away draw versus Napoli that ended 1-1.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sociedad when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning zero games.

Sociedad has another fixture away, a La Liga game, against Levante in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Real Sociedad are regular goalscorers on their travels. Sociedad are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 2 goals away.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's eight Barcelona victories, two draws and zero Real Sociedad wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
