Barcelona

Barcelona return to action brimming with confidence after a 3-1 comeback victory over Real Oviedo, a result that kept them within two points of leaders Real Madrid. The win also marked Hansi Flick’s 50th competitive triumph as Barça boss - an achievement that underlines the consistency and attacking flair his side have shown in 2025. The Catalans have now scored at least three goals in each of their last six league wins, and their dominance at Camp Nou remains intact with nine victories from their previous 11 La Liga home matches.

All eyes, however, will be on Lamine Yamal, who narrowly missed out on winning the Ballon d’Or earlier this week. The young prodigy is expected to respond in the best possible way - on the pitch. Determined to prove his worth and remind the football world that he’s already among the elite, Yamal will be eager to deliver a standout performance in front of the home fans. With his pace, creativity, and eye for goal, the teenager could be Barcelona’s biggest threat against a vulnerable Real Sociedad defence.

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad finally claimed their first league win of the season in midweek, edging past Mallorca 1-0 to relieve some early-season pressure. Despite that victory, Sergio Francisco’s side remain just above the relegation zone, struggling to find rhythm and consistency. Their away form continues to be a major concern, as they’ve lost five of their last six La Liga trips, failing to score in four of them.

Sociedad’s lack of cutting edge has been particularly damaging in matches against top-tier opponents, and their recent record at Camp Nou makes grim reading. They will need a near-perfect defensive display and hope to catch Barcelona on the counter if they want to stand a chance of avoiding another defeat. Takefusa Kubo, a former Barça player, remains their most likely source of inspiration in attack.

The Betting Verdict

Barcelona’s home record and overwhelming dominance in this fixture make them heavy favourites once again. With confidence flowing through the squad and the attacking duo of Lewandowski and Yamal in excellent form, Flick’s men should control proceedings comfortably. Expect Lamine Yamal to play with extra motivation after missing out on the Ballon d’Or, using this platform to make a statement with his performance - and possibly on the scoresheet.
