Barcelona are gearing up for a crucial La Liga encounter against Real Sociedad, with head coach Hansi Flick set to make several changes to his starting lineup. Ronald Araujo, Gavi, and Robert Lewandowski are expected to return after being benched for the Copa del Rey match against Atletico.
Real Sociedad will be without Sheraldo Becker and Takefusa Kubo, both suspended for the fixture, though Igor Zubeldia is available again after serving his ban against Leganes. Javi Lopez is set to return at left-back, having started on the bench against Real Madrid, while Sergio Gomez could be recalled to provide width.
Barcelona’s predicted lineup includes Szczesny in goal, with Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, and Balde forming the defensive line. De Jong and Pedri should take charge of midfield, while Yamal, Gavi, and Raphinha support Lewandowski in attack. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad are expected to start with Remiro in goal, backed by a defensive line of Aramburu, Zubeldia, Aguerd, and Lopez.
Barcelona have struggled at home this season, suffering three league defeats, but their current form suggests they will be difficult to beat. While Real Sociedad are expected to put up a strong fight and find the back of the net, Flick’s side should have enough firepower to secure a vital three points in their push for a strong league finish.
