Barcelona vs Real Sociedad
Barcelona vs Real Sociedad has become a no-stake match in La Liga. It is a match of the pride between the Catalans and the Basques, two very ambitious Communites in Spain. The game is scheduled to take place on April 20, 2019 at 21.45 on New Field in Barcelona.
Barcelona: the title is getting closer
Barcelona is one of the most demanded teams in La Liga this month. From March 30 until May 1, 10 matches have to be played, which means a 3-day meeting. That’s exactly why coach Valverde is trying to recreate the valuable players in the team, so they will be fit and rest in important parties. Let’s not forget that Tuesday played a difficult meeting in the Champions League quarterfinals, in which he used the basic formula. May 1st is scheduled for the first hand of the Liverpool semifinals and will certainly not risk injuries to Messi, Luis Suarez and other major players. That’s why I do not think they will play with Real Sociedad in a game known as a high-risk injury. Lionel Messi has scored 33 times and is far from Barcelona’s goal scorer and La Liga. The second is Luis Suarez, with 20 goals scored. Samuel Umtiti is injured and will have to pass it again, but he is replaced by Lenglet. As the probable team I will pass the one that appeared in the brand, but I do not think they will play Messi and Luis Suarez.
- Barcelona (4-3-3): Ter Stegen – Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Jordi Alba – Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur – Messi, Luis Suarez, Dembele
- Coach: Ernesto Valverde
- Injuries: Rafinha, Umtiti
Real Sociedad: She does not seem interested in a place in the Europa League
Real Sociedad would be more likely to take a seat in the Europa League, but does not seem interested in this European competition. We have shown that because Valencia and Barcelona are disputing the final of Copei del Rey and are ranked in the top six, the 8th place is eligible for the Europa League. Only the guest team has only one victory in the last 10 matches … In the first half of the season, Sociedad was one of the most powerful teams in the league in La Liga, long being the leader in such a hierarchy. Coach Alguacil has not retained this team’s strength and tried to print his ideas, throwing everything that the old technician has managed to impress. Perhaps that is why in the last 5 games he has won only 3 points. Mikel Oyarzabal managed to take the position as the main teammate with 12 goals scored. The top scorer of the previous season, Willian Jose, only scored 10 times. The Brazilian crosses a slightly weaker championship. He returns to the team after completing a suspension stage for the cumulus of yellow cards.
- Real Sociedad (4-3-3): Rulli – Zaldua, Aritz, Llorente, Theo Hernandez – Luca Sangalli, Zubeldia, Merino – Oyarzabal, Willian Jose, Juanmi
- Coach: Imanol Alguacil
- Injuries: Illarramendi, Januzaj, Merquelanz, Zurutuza, Kevin Rodrigues, Hector Moreno, Guevara
Barcelona vs Real Sociedad Picks
The matches between the two have lately played in the end of the season in April or May. So it is happening now. Stakes are falling and only ambition remains. Both teams have achieved their goals and are now starting to think about the future. Lately the meetings between the two have been balanced and rarely the two-goal gap has been overcome, once in the most recent 10 games. I will choose a handicap bet of 2.5 goals in favor of the visiting team.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 1.53
