As the early season favourites, Barcelona hope to justify their title credentials by making easy work of Real Sociedad in a round 2 fixture on Sunday in the La Liga. Barcelona celebrated two wins against Real Sociedad in their most recent meetings, outclassing their next opponent by 1-0 and 4-2.
Real Sociedad booked their first win of the season in the La Liga as they claimed all three points in the opener. Barcelona had a win in mind for their premiere match in the La Liga. In the end, they came away with a point which at least is better than losing the opener.
The match this coming Sunday has all the makings of a tight battle as Real Sociedad and Barcelona look to bag a crucial three points in the process.
Real Sociedad scored 12 goals, conceded eight and fought their way to four clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Real Sociedad vs Barcelona Prediction
Real Sociedad have been a little inconsistent recently, as they beat Villarreal by 1-2. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 1-2 against Atletico Madrid, before claiming three points in a 0-1 win against Cadiz. Real Sociedad won three of their previous six matches at Reale Seguros Stadium in the La Liga. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring six goals to three against.
While a title challenge may be a bit of a stretch, Real Sociedad look a solid bet for a top three finish at the end of the season.
In their last three matches, Barcelona drew 0-0 with Getafe, lost 0-2 against Villarreal, and drew 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano. Barcelona recorded no less than five in their previous six La Liga away matches, as well drawing once and losing none. They hit the target 12 themselves while allowing four goals against.
A second place finish is the absolute minimum Barcelona should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.
We don't quite trust Real Sociedad enough to go for the home win, but form is not impressive enough for Barcelona to back them. In stead, we have our eyes fixed on the draw-no-bet or double-chance.
