Match Predict – Barcelona to win
Barcelona is on a fantastic run and as their number 9, Robert Lewandowski returns they are more eager to win the game and grab another title by getting past Real Sociedad.
Both teams to score – yes
Considering the statistics and the meetings both teams had previously in all Spanish competitions, out of the total 30 matches, 67% of the games have ended up with both of the teams scoring in the game as we expect the scenario to be repeated.
Total Goals Over 1.5
Numbers and statistics are the most important tools for predictive analysis. As mentioned above, in the previous 30 games, 80% of the games have ended up with a minimum of 2 goals in a game(24/30). We are certain that the minimum number of goals will be 2.
Barcelona:
Barcelona is now on its feet, as they are applying their manager’s philosophy in every game they play. Last Thursday they went on to beat Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final which was held in Saudi Arabia. After that, they qualified for the next stage of the Copa Del Rey where they host Real Sociedad and had a great win against Getafe yesterday. Their number 9 is back from suspension, and as Robert Lewandowski is back on the starting line-up Xavi’s attacking options are wider to beat Real Sociedad and get past the round.

Real Sociedad:
On the other hand, Real Sociedad, is performing amazingly as they were matching Real Madrid just before the previous round. Sociedad is currently sitting in the 3rd chair of the La Liga standings while in the Copa, they beat Mallorca with a 1-0 result to get past the round of 16 and face Barcelona. Winning the league is hard for them but getting past Barcelona will give the team hope to fight for the Copa Del Rey title.

Considering the statistics of both teams and La Liga, in 18 games played, Barcelona has averaged an average of 7.33 corners per game while Real Sociedad has an average of 4.89 as we expect total corners of at least 9 in the game.
