Barcelona vs Real Sociedad Prediction 16 December 2020

The match of the nineteenth round of La Liga between Barcelona and Real Sociedad will be held next Wednesday.

Eighth place, 17 points and goals 21:11. Even with two games left, Barcelona had a rather mediocre first quarter of the season. It is noteworthy that while at home the Catalans beat Betis 5:2, Osasuna 4:0 and Levante 1:0,  away they surrendered to Atlético (0:1) and Cadiz (1:2).

With 26 points and a goal difference of 23:6, Real Sociedad sensationally lead the peloton. However, after difficult wins 2:0 for Granada and 1:0 for Cadiz, the next three meetings of Txuri-urdinak ended in a draw - 1:1 with Villarreal, 0:0 with Alaves and 1:1 with Eibar.

Real Sociedad's potential is significantly lower than that of Barcelona. Therefore, in a recession, the Basques are unlikely to impose a worthy competition on the Catalans. Our prediction: the hosts will take confident three points.
