Barcelona Aim to Regain Second Spot with Victory over Real Sociedad

La Liga Match Preview

Monday, August 21st

WEB Xavi Hernandez's Barcelona have the chance to reclaim the second spot in La Liga when they host sixth-placed Real Sociedad on Monday. The Catalans are currently third in the table, two points behind Real Madrid and one point ahead of Real Betis. A win against Sociedad would see them leapfrog their rivals and move into second place.

Barcelona will be confident of victory, having won their last two league matches. They defeated Real Valladolid 4-0 at home before coming from behind to beat Cadiz 2-1 away. Sociedad, on the other hand, have drawn their last two matches, 1-1 against Atletico Madrid and 0-0 against Rayo Vallecano.

The match is expected to be a close affair, with both teams in good form. However, Barcelona will be the favorites, given their home advantage and superior attacking quality. The Catalans have scored 10 goals in their last three league matches, while Sociedad have only managed two.
