My people, the Barcelona boys don dey sharpen dem boots as dem prepare to face Real Sociedad this weekend. The match go happen for Anoeta on Sunday night, and Barcelona dey hope to continue dem gbedu wey don carry dem waka for all competitions with 12 straight wins.
Hansi Flick don lead Barcelona enter this winning streak wey don carry dem go shine for Supercopa de España and Copa del Rey. E be like say all eyes don dey shine for the Catalan boys as dem dey ready to return to La Liga action, where dem don get perfect record since late October.
Kontractually, Real Sociedad no dey enjoy the same lucky vibe. Dem dey just four points above relegation zone and their last season performance don cause wetin make dem sack their former manager, Sergio Francisco. Now, Pellegrino Matarazzo don take over, and he get serious work to do to bring dem back to shape.
The last time Barcelona visit San Sebastián, dem no fit collect points, and na this kind match wey fit highten dem competition. Barcelona must bring dem A-game o this Sunday if dem wan keep dem positive momentum.
Real Sociedad get just two injury issues: Yangel Herrera and Orri Óskarsson no go fit play. Matarazzo dey plan to use 4-4-2 formation with Mikel Oyarzabal and Brais Méndez leading the front. Carlos Soler go dey to manage the mid, while Álex Remiro go gree block all plenty odds as dem dey face the high-flying Barça.
Flick no go fit rotate him players too much because the last matches dey crucial, plus e fit use the same starting lineup wey he use for the last match against Real Madrid. Eric García go replace Gerard Martín, and Frenkie de Jong go return from suspension to play alongside Pedri.
For this showdown, one strong thing wey Barcelona gatz manage be the away ground. Although dem dey win, dem no dey dominate as much for away games lately, and Sociedad don dey shine since dem sack dem former coach.
Barcelona owe dem self this victory well-well. Lewandowski go lead dem attack again, and with players like Raphinha on the left wing, dem dey packed with talent. Match go tight, no be small, but with proper focus, dem fit grab these three points.
Prediction fit dey say 2-1 to Barcelona, but make we dey wait dey see as dem go perform on dat day. We ready dey watch how dis match go unfold, and everybody go dey expect pure fire!
