Real Sociedad take on Barcelona in a highly-anticipated La Liga game. Given Barca's splendid form, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 away win. Sociedad’s key midfielder Turrientes has recovered from a minor knock sustained in a 2-1 win over Getafe, giving Pellegrino Matarazzo more options in midfield. Home form remains a concern, with 0 wins in their last three home matches, though Sociedad score 1.50 goals per game and concede 1.20, with BTTS in 80% of recent outings.
Barcelona travel to the Basque Country brimming with confidence after beating Real Madrid 3-2 in the Spanish Super Cup final. Hansi Flick has nearly a full squad, with only Christensen and Gavi unavailable. Barca are in imperious form, winning all their last five matches, scoring 2.90 goals per game while conceding just 0.80, and keeping 50% clean sheets overall. As always, Spain superstar Lamine Yamal will prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Given Barca's dominant away record and 25 wins in H2H, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Away Win. Over 2.5 goals market also seem temping as 59% of H2H matches exceeded this as well as Lamine Yamal to Score.
This Primera Division match will be played on Sunday 18 January 2026 at 20:00.
