21^stAugust 2022 – 22:00, Reale Arena, San Sebastian

Real Sociedad and Barcelona will close Sunday’s action of the La Liga 2^nd round. The home side will try to remain on the winning track while the visitors seek the first success in the campaign.

Real Sociedad Preview & Team News

The Reale Arena will host Sunday’s La Liga derby between Real Sociedad and Barcelona. The Basques beat Cadiz thanks to Takefus Kubo’s goal in their opener but will have much bigger fish to fry against Barca, who are eager to record their first win of the season. Although key winger Mikel Ojarzabal is out with a long-term injury, we predict the hosts will take something from Sunday’s clash as they traditionally make life difficult for the Catalan giants in San Sebastian. Real Sociedad kicked off the season with a win, hoping to continue in the same fashion against a very tough opponent.

Barcelona Preview & Team News

Despite many top-class signings during the transfer window, Barcelona had a hiccup at the start of the campaign. They split points with Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou in a goalless draw, which worried Barca’s fans. Although they created many chances, Barcelona needed to be more clinical in front of the opposition’s net. They now head to a tricky outing, where they enjoyed two consecutive successes. Owing to a fully injury-free group available to select from, the Barcelona manager Xavi Hernández doesn’t have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this match. The players ineligible for this match because of suspension are Jules Koundé and Sergio Busquets.
