⚔️ Barcelona v Real Sociedad Head-to-Head

Monday’s fixture will be the second time that these two sides have clashed in La Liga this season. The pair met in November, with a late winner from Ronald Araujo guiding Barcelona to a 1-0 victory.  

Despite the result, Sociedad still performed well and were arguably unlucky to leave with nothing. This was reflected in the expected goals stats, with Sociedad accumulating a tally of 0.95 to Barcelona’s 1.23, as well as the shots on target figures, with Sociedad registering 6 and Barcelona taking 4. 

Plenty of corners were taken in this clash, with both sides combining to take a total of 11 corners. Sociedad dominated this corner count, forcing 8.

Both sides struggled to keep out of the referee’s bad books in this meeting, with Sociedad committing 16 fouls and Barcelona fouling 8 times. As a result of this, the referee regularly reached for his pocket, dishing out a total of 6 cards, with 3 of these directed towards Barcelona players.
