Match facts

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad are unbeaten in their last seven La Liga games at home against Barcelona (won five, drawn two). Their last defeat at Anoeta against the Blaugrana in this competition was a 2-0 loss in May 2007.
Sociedad have won just a single of last five home matches in all competitions conceding two or more goals in four during the process.
Eusebio Sacristan remains without left back Alberto de la Bella, winger Adnan Januzaj, and forward Imanol Agirretxe due to injuries. Winger Carlos Vela has officially left the club for LA Galaxy in MLS.

Barcelona

Barcelona are already winter champions with 48 points from their opening 18 games of the season. In 11 of the last 13 seasons that they have led at this stage, the Blaugrana have gone on to win the title (Atletico in 2013-14 and Real Madrid in 2006-07 are the exceptions).
Lionel Messi has scored 14 goals in his 19 games against Real Sociedad in all competitions, but only four of them at Anoeta.
New signing Philippe Coutinho will have to wait at least a couple of weeks for his debut until he recovers from a thigh injury.

Predictions

Barcelona have not been able to go to Sociedad and dominate in the last three meetings, so don't expect to see them run the score up here. With that said, though, their defence has improved and will allow them to see off a lot flurry by the hosts.

Final Score – 0 : 2

Don’t underestimate oyarzabal and Jose please they always perform great against us. We don’t get too many chances in this stadium Barca need to be extremely clinical in front of goal.
