Real Sociedad vs Barcelona prediction and betting tips on November 10, 2024
Game Prediction
On November 10, 2024, Real Sociedad will host Barcelona in the 13th round of La Liga. The visitors travel to San Sebastián aiming for a win.
Prediction for Real Sociedad vs Barcelona
Last season was disappointing for both clubs. Real Sociedad finally reached the Champions League and even advanced to the knockout stage as group leaders. However, they fell to sixth in La Liga, overtaken by Athletic Bilbao and Girona. Meanwhile, Xavi, who led Barcelona to Supercopa and La Liga titles in 2023, was dismissed by Joan Laporta after a trophyless following season.
Hansi Flick’s arrival as Barcelona’s head coach has brought immediate positive results. Despite setbacks, including losses to Monaco and Osasuna, Barcelona has delivered impressive wins over Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. They also handled Espanyol and Crvena Zvezda with ease. Real Sociedad, under Imanol Alguacil, struggled initially with only one win in their first eight matches but improved in the autumn. Even so, inconsistency remains, as shown in their 0-2 loss to Osasuna and a recent Europa League defeat to Viktoria Plzen after a 2-0 victory over Sevilla.
Barcelona, without Ter Stegen, has been conceding nearly a goal per match but compensates by scoring over three goals per game, led by Lewandowski. In contrast, Real Sociedad's "Txuri-urdin" play conservatively, scoring and conceding less than a goal per match, though they tend to concede more frequently.
