Barcelona – Real Sociedad, La Liga Prediction
ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION FOR BARCELONA - REAL SOCIEDAD
Barcelona easily defeated Manchester United in the Champions League quarterfinals and will play a semi-final with Liverpool, which will probably decide the winner of this year’s Champions League. For Barca, the treble is not a mirage. On the contrary, they have a real chance to achieve it and the mood in the team is great. After Valverde has given a break to a number of main players in recent games, we are now expecting the Catalans to win a few victories so they can save their title again before the Champions League.
Sociedad is not in good shape, but does not lose very often. In fact, this team has the opportunity to reach the top 7 and to participate in the Europa League under certain circumstances and will probably do a good job to achieve this goal. Against Barcelona, it will not be easy for them, but perhaps it is now a fairly convenient time to visit Camp Nou, where Barca are intoxicated by their success in Europe.
We think, though, that this time we will not see any surprises, and Barcelona will win the game without much difficulties. They often struggle against Sociedad, but as a guest. At home there are no serious problems and usually their matches are quite spectacular. Here we do not see how there will be closed football. It is quite logical to enjoy the next goal show of the Catalonians who have to score at least one goal in the first half. In the second part, some players are hungry and can come in and they can also score. Forecast – Barca to score in both halves at 1.64.
