Barcelona Preview
Barcelona, the competition’s all-time winner with 31 titles, is looking to increase its lead at the top with another Copa del Rey triumph. The culés come into this match after playing a preliminary round, which they managed to win by a score of 0-5 against AD Ceuta. Besides, they won last weekend in the league by beating Getafe by 1-0.
This completes Barcelona’s unbeaten run of 11 official matches, as they have won ten of those games. So, they will certainly not want this match to put an end to what has been an excellent season so far.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Marc-André Ter stegen; Sergi Roberto, Jules Koundé, Andreas Christensen, Alejandro Baldé; Gavi, Sergio Busquets, Pedri; Ousmane Dembélé, Ansu Fati, Raphinha.
Real Sociedad Preview
Real Sociedad is also having a good season, not at Barcelona’s level, but a very positive one according to what was expected of them. They will be looking to win their fourth Copa del Rey title, but not before dispatching their opponents, as they did against Mallorca in the previous round (1-0).
In fact, in the four rounds they have played in this tournament, Real Sociedad has allowed only one goal while scoring eleven. Also, they won the previous weekend: they beat Rayo Vallecano by a score of 2-0, and they are now on a seven-game winning streak.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Álex Remiro; Aritz Elustondo, Igor Zubeldía, Robin Le Normand, Diego Rico; Pablo Marín, Asier Illarramendi, Brais Méndez, David Silva; Alexander Sorloth, Ander Barrenetxea.
JefeBet Prediction
Considering that both teams are in good shape and on a positive streak, it is clear that neither will want to bow out of these quarterfinals. On the contrary, they will both be going all out for a positive result.
It is important to mention that Barcelona has won the last 26 matchups against Real Sociedad playing as locals, so Real Sociedad will not have history on their side. However, what matters is now, and the Basques are capable of ending that streak this time around.
Real Sociedad has scored at least two goals in six of its last seven away games, while Barça has scored eleven goals in its last four games. Three of the last two matches between the two sides at the Camp Nou have featured at least three goals, and this one may be no exception to that.
Prediction: Over.
