Competition – La Liga
Stadium: Reale Arena

Real Sociedad host Barcelona at the Reale Arena on Sunday evening with the visitors carrying perfect recent form into this encounter. Sociedad progressed through the Copa del Rey with a 2-2 draw against Osasuna that was decided on penalties in their most recent outing, maintaining an unbeaten run across their last five fixtures with three wins and two draws. Barcelona, meanwhile, secured a 3-2 home victory over Real Madrid in the Spanish Supercopa, extending their remarkable winning streak to five consecutive triumphs across all competitions.
Sociedad’s form demonstrates solid consistency with their 2-1 away win at Getafe complementing draws of 1-1 at home to Atlético Madrid and 1-1 away at Levante. They also claimed a 2-1 away victory at Eldense in the Copa del Rey. Barcelona’s dominance has been emphatic with their 5-0 home demolition of Athletic Club in the Supercopa preceded by three consecutive 2-0 away victories at Espanyol, Villarreal and CD Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey.
The head-to-head record heavily favours Barcelona with four wins from the last five meetings compared to Sociedad’s single victory. Barcelona won 2-1 at home in September 2025 and claimed a 4-0 home triumph in March 2025. They also secured victories of 2-0 at home in May 2024 and 1-0 away in November 2023. Sociedad’s sole success came with a 1-0 home win in November 2024.
