FC Barcelona vs Real Sociedad Team News
FC Barcelona Team News
Gavi was expected to return soon, but after his latest injury, medics announced that he’ll be out for the next four to five months. In other words, this will be the second season he remains sidelined due to injury. On the other hand, Lamine Yamal is likely to return for the match against PSG, with coach Hansi Flick telling journalists that “it looks good.”
Barcelona defeated Getafe with ease (3-0), thanks to goals from Ferrán Torres and Dani Olmo. In Lamine Yamal’s absence, Raphinha was moved to the right wing, while Rashford occupied the Brazilian’s usual spot. Despite Getafe’s back three, the Catalans often launched attacks from the centre, especially through Dani Olmo.

After the game, Ferrán Torres complained about Getafe’s playing style, which was not appreciated by coach José Bordalas. Eventually, he fired back, saying that “the difference is 1,000 million,” a clear reference to the financial gap between the two clubs.
In their midweek match against Real Oviedo, Barca secured a 3-1 victory with goals from Eric García, Robert Lewandowski, and Ronald Araujo.
Marc-André ter Stegen, Fermin, Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde, Raphinha and Gavi are sidelined with injuries.
FC Barcelona predicted lineup vs Real Sociedad (4-2-3-1): Szczęsny; Martin, Cubarsí, E.Garcia, Koundé; De Jong, Pedri; Rashford, Olmo, Rashford; Lewandowski.
Real Sociedad Team News
After Real Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil left last summer, another major figure departed — Roberto Olabe. As a sporting director, his role was key in building the club’s project. He joined Aston Villa this week, leaving La Real in an institutional crisis, with no certainty for the future.
Sociedad have yet to win a match in La Liga this season. They started with two draws and haven’t picked up a single point since. Against Real Oviedo, they suffered a defeat after failing to find the final pass despite a clear territorial dominance.
Matters only got worse when La Real faced Real Madrid and Real Betis, as their lack of muscle in midfield led to two losses. However, this week they finally earned two victories, beating Mallorca 1-0 thanks to a goal from Mikel Oyarzabal and securing a 1-0 victory at home against Real Mallorca through a goal in the 49th minute from Mikel Oyarzabal.

FC Barcelona vs Real Sociedad Prediction, Odds
- Prediction: FC Barcelona to win
- Odds: -371 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: FC Barcelona 3-0 Real Sociedad
Expectations were low against Getafe: without Lamine Yamal, Barcelona were always going to feel the impact. Yet Hansi Flick showed that bringing in Rashford on loan was far from purposeless. With Raphinha moving to the right and Rashford attacking the penalty box, the duo proved to be a deadly combo.
Real Sociedad have famously struggled to defend (or attack) this season. The departure of their physically dominant midfielders has left a void at the heart of the team. The defenders have faced similar issues, weaknesses that opponents have consistently exploited in recent weeks. It would be surprising if Barça didn’t follow that path.
FC Barcelona vs Real Sociedad Betting Tip
- Pick: Marcus Rashford to score
Marcus Rashford is no number nine, but Hansi Flick has liked him as a box attacker, with his role varying from an inside forward to a target man. When coordinated with his teammates who look to occupy his defenders, Rashford has proved to be efficient in front of the box.
Given his impressive performance in recent matches, there’s every reason to believe his pace will once again be a major advantage against Real Sociedad on Sunday.
