The last of four LaLiga games to kick off on Sunday sees Real Sociedad and Barcelona clash at Reale Arena. Last weekend, the hosts got the job done away against Getafe, winning by two goals to one. They followed that victory up by just about getting over the line against Osasuna in the Copa del Rey, avoiding defeat for the fifth game on the spin. Can they now build on their recent results and upset a Barcelona team that has not tasted defeat since November.
The visitors were also victorious last weekend, defeating Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, before beating lower-league Racing Santander in the Copa del Rey. Hansi Flick's men have now won each of their last 11 games in all competitions. Can they make it 12 wins on the spin in the Basque Country? We'll soon find out.

Our Real Sociedad vs Barcelona Prediction
Real Sociedad's Mikel Oyarzabal has now gone four league games without finding the net, but I really would not be surprised if he refound his scoring form against Barca. After all, the Spanish international loves to play on the break against high-pressing teams, while he's no stranger to scoring in big games, notching against Real Madrid earlier in the season.
Moreover, Oyarzabal has been prolific from a shot-taking point of view this season, getting himself into lots of promising scoring areas, averaging an impressive 0.46 xG per 90 minutes. Such a stat makes odds of +265 look rather appealing to my value-seeking eyes.
Our Real Sociedad vs Barcelona Pick: Mikel Oyarzabal to Score.
