Barcelona's attack is in impressive form, scoring in 15 consecutive matches. In that run, Robert Lewandowski and his teammates have scored 49 goals, with 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss.
In general, coach Hansi Flick's team is reaching a high level of form and not many teams can stop them. In particular, Blaugrana will have home advantage in the match against Real Sociedad.
While Hansi Flick's side are likely to beat most of the other sides, both of their last two home winces in La Liga have come 1-0.
Lewandowski is currently leading the scoring charts in La Liga with 20 goals. In his last 5 appearances in the tournament, the Polish striker scored in 4 matches.
Real Sociedad are expected to have a difficult trip to Barca's home ground. Coach Imanol Alguacil's team is in quite good form, having won 6 and lost 4 of their last 10 matches. This is not a bad achievement for Sociedad, but cannot be compared to Barcelona. Not to mention, Real Sociedad often do not play well away, with 5 defeats in the last 6 away matches.
Looking at the correlation between the two teams at the moment, it would be an earthquake if Real Sociedad could take at least 1 point at Barcelona's field. If they are not careful, they could even become the next victim to be hit by Barcelona's rain of goals.
In the first leg of La Liga this season, Blaugrana lost to their opponents with a minimal score. Therefore, coach Hansi Flick's team will be determined to get revenge.
Last season, Barca won a double against Real Sociedad in La Liga and kept a clean sheet in both of them.
In terms of personnel, Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre ter Stegen on Barcelona's side are still unable to play due to injury. However, Andreas Christensen could return to the squad this weekend.
On the other side of the front line, Real Sociedad will not be able to have the services of two regular star players, Nayef Ageurd and Takefusa Kubo. Both are suspended.
Expected lineup:
Barcelona: Pena, Balde, Cubarsi, Araujo, Kounde, Pedri, Casado, Raphinha, Gavi, Yamal, Lewandowski.
Real Sociedad: Remiro, Aramburu, Elustondo, Munoz, Lopez, Zubimendi, Gomez, Marin, Zakharyan, Olasagasti, Oskarsson.
The match between Barcelona and Real Sociedad takes place at 10:15 on February 2 (Vietnam time).
