Barcelona look for three points away against Real Sociedad
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Anoeta Stadium, San Sebastian
Barcelona are currently leading the La Liga points table and are on 48 points from 18 games. But they know they will need to keep getting positive results to remain atop.
Barca defeated Levante in the New Year and followed that up with success in the Copa del Rey. But will face a sterner test away against Real Sociedad.
On the other hand, Real Sociedad are on just 23 points from 18 games. They know they need to keep getting positive results to stay out of the relegation zone.
Real Sociedad lost to Leganes last weekend in La Liga and will now face a tough task of playing Barcelona. They will hope of making the home advantage count.
So far Barcelona and Real Sociedad have played each other 46 times. Out of that Barca have won 28 games while Real Sociedad have won 8 games, 10 other games have been a draw.
All in all it should be a good game on Sunday night as both teams will give their all.

Adnan Januzaj is a doubt for the weekend game as due to injury. While Inigo Martinez remains sidelined.
