THE PREDICTION
The home side come into this game on the back of a 1-0 victory over Levante at the weekend. The performance and result, albeit a clean sheet and victory, did not do much to repair a giant that is in crisis. They continue to be without direct width in terms of tactics and personnel with Koeman’s insistence on an over-reliance on Sergino Dest and Jordi Alba to offer Barcelona’s only wide play. Dembele and Fati remain sidelined with injury. Real Sociedad’s fast start has began to catch up with them, especially alongside Europa League commitments which will continue in the new year. Injuries have also meant that La Real are now winless in six matches in all competitions - remarkably, though, they are all draws. A 1-1 draw at home to an Eibar side in brilliant away form backed up a frustrating but not disastrous 0-0 draw against Alaves and a mutually satisfactory 1-1 draw with Villarreal. Both sides could be in better form but only one side is at a generational low-point. Both teams to score should be a solid bet for this one.
