statistically Sociedad last 5 meetings with Barcelona. where Barcelona won 4x and drew 1x and sociedad never won against barcelona in the last 5 meetings. In the match later I am sure that Barcelona can win with a big score, especially De Jong is played in the early minutes. De jong is the best midfielder at the moment in barcelona he has good instinct in finishing. Also Lewandowski should be able to open his goal faucet with Barcelona in this match.
It is a stats only, it doesn't guarantee Barcelona can win against Real Sociedad in this match. Although Real Sociedad never won, they should have a chance to surprise us today. Just look at the current score, it is 1-1. Real Sociedad seems to play quite well, they are able to match Barcelona game. So far, I don't see that De jong can give a special contribution to Barcelona midfield. Both midfield lines of Barcelona and Real Sociedad play quite well, there is no big difference between them. According to this matter, I guess the match will end with a draw if no significant changes in the next second half. Or it may be winning for Real Sociedad because they seem to play more effectively in creating shots on target.
likely so. But I think there will be a chance that Barcelona can surprise me in the second half. Yes, I see de Jong has not shown a good contribution in the first half. also in the barcelona squad there has been no substitution of players in the first half, it is very likely that xavi will play raphinha in the second half and the barcelona game situation will be more aggressive if raphinha is entered in the second half. I don't believe this match will end in a draw for sure there will be another goal. Lewandowski was quite slick, he recorded his first goal in the 1st minute.
