Barcelona

WWWDWW 📈

Barcelona, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-6 La Liga success vs Real Sociedad.

In that game, Barcelona managed 69% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 10 of them on target. For Barcelona, the goalscorers were Antoine Griezmann (37'), Sergiño Dest (43', 53'), Lionel Messi (56', 89') and Ousmane Dembélé (71'). Real Sociedad had 10 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Barrenetxea (77') was the scorer for Real Sociedad.

Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that much respect should be given to the Barcelona backline. Barça have been mean at the back, resulting in the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their past six matches standing at 3.

A look at their previous results shows us that Barcelona:

• haven't lost in the league to Real Valladolid in their last 5 matches.
• are unbeaten in their previous 11 league matches at home. It's been impressive.
