Barcelona are back in action with another La Liga fixture this weekend as they take on Real Sociedad at the Estadio Anoeta on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Real Sociedad vs Barcelona Preview
Real Sociedad are currently in sixth place in the La Liga standings and have made a positive start to their league campaign. The home side edged Cadiz to a narrow 1-0 victory last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and were underwhelming in their first game of the season. The Catalan giants were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Rayo Vallecano in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
