Barcelona, unbeaten in their last six La Liga matches, aim to continue their winning streak when they host Real Sociedad at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Sunday.

The league leaders are fresh from a thrilling 4-4 Copa del Rey draw with Atletico Madrid and will be looking to extend their advantage at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad, sitting ninth, are keen to close the gap on the European spots.

🔴Barcelona Aim to Maintain Top Spot | Home Win = 1.28💵

Barcelona have won their last five La Liga games, scoring 12 goals in the process. Hansi Flick’s men are in top form, having bounced back from early-season inconsistencies to sit ahead of rivals Real Madrid on the head-to-head record.

With a crucial Champions League clash against Benfica on the horizon, Barca will aim to balance squad rotation while keeping their momentum intact against a Sociedad side they lost to in the reverse fixture.

🔵Real Sociedad Look to Break into European Spots | Away Win = 11.12💵

Real Sociedad have struggled for consistency this season but remain just one point off sixth place in the league. A 3-0 victory over Leganes last weekend demonstrated their attacking potential, however, against a much better Real Madrid side in the Copa del Rey semi-final 1st leg, it faltered.

Despite being winless in their last three away matches, Imanol Alguacil’s side will take confidence from their earlier 1-0 win over Barcelona this season and their ability to frustrate top teams.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Barcelona remain without Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre ter Stegen, but Andreas Christensen returns from injury. Flick is expected to recall Robert Lewandowski and Ronald Araujo after they were rested in the Copa del Rey.

For Real Sociedad, suspensions rule out Sheraldo Becker and Takefusa Kubo, while Igor Zubeldia is back from a ban. Martin Zubimendi will be key in midfield, while Mikel Oyarzabal is set to lead the attack.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 6.37💵

⚽Barcelona have won five (5) straight league games and are unbeaten in their last six in all competitions. | Specials Market: Home & Under 3.5 = 2.06

Arne Slot’s title-chasing Liverpool and Eddie Howe’s top-four-chasing Newcastle United, face off in a crucial midweek clash at Anfield on Wednesday.

🔴Liverpool Aim to Extend Unbeaten Home Run | Home Win = 1.48💵

Liverpool sit comfortably at the Premier League summit, 11 points clear of Arsenal after a professional 2-0 win at Manchester City. Slot’s men have been formidable at Anfield, going unbeaten in their last 17 home matches, scoring at least two goals in each.

The Reds thrive in midweek Premier League fixtures, winning their last 12 such games. With Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai in fine form, Liverpool will look to maintain their title charge against a Newcastle side they haven’t lost to at home since 1994.

⚫Newcastle Seek Rare Anfield Victory | Away Win = 6.36💵

Despite recent defensive struggles, conceding nine goals in their last three league games, Newcastle approach this fixture with renewed confidence after edging Nottingham Forest 4-3. Alexander Isak, with 19 Premier League goals, is spearheading the Magpies’ top-four push.

Newcastle, however, face an uphill battle having failed to win any of their last 16 Premier League encounters with Liverpool. Eddie Howe’s men will need to improve defensively to break their long-standing Anfield jinx.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Liverpool’s only absentees are Bradley, Gomez, and Morton. Gakpo could start after recovering from injury, potentially replacing Szoboszlai, who showed fatigue against City. Salah, needing just one goal to reach double figures at home and away this season, remains the Reds’ biggest threat.

Newcastle, meanwhile, remain without Jamaal Lascelles and Joelinton, although Sven Botman might return from a minor knee issue. Isak’s scoring prowess will be crucial, while Jacob Murphy and Lewis Miley provide additional attacking support.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 5.58💵

⚽Liverpool’s last five home matches have ended in victory, with at least two goals scored in each. | Specials Market: Home & Over 3.5 = 2.55

⚽Newcastle drew 3-3 with Liverpool in their first league meeting against Slot’s men this season and would be heading into this one. | Specials Market: Over 2.5 & (Yes to GG) = 1.73

With Liverpool’s relentless form and Newcastle’s attacking threat, fans can expect a high-intensity clash.
