Unfortunately, Balde, Gavi, and de Jong are injured. After losing to PSG in the Champions League, Barcelona has failed in La Liga to Real Madrid 2:3 and Girona 2:4 and defeated Valencia 4:2. Barcelona dropped to third place before LL round 35, conceding two points to Girona. Still, they can get ahead of their main rival, drawing with Alaves 2:2. The home team has 4th place in the standings, with a +13=1-3 record and a 38:21 goal differential. Note that the Catalans have secured their spot in the next UCL season.

In the last five games, the Basques earned 8 points after victories over Alaves and Las Palmas, draws with Getafe and Almeria, and a 0:1 defeat to Real Madrid. Currently, Real Sociedad is in 6th place with 54 points, 13 points behind Atlético Madrid and two ahead of Sevilla and Betis. The Basques' away stats are 4th in La Liga, with a +7=6-4 record and a 23:17 goal difference. Galan, Merquelanz, Munoz, Zubeldia, and Fernandez won't join the visitors, while Subimendi and Tierney's participation is up in the air.

Barcelona has a chance to move up to second place in the La Liga standings, but they'll need to win the match against RS. Recall that Girona is currently second, which means the hosts will try to finish the season sitting at least above Girona in the standings. After all, they didn't manage to defend their title. We're rooting for the home team in this matchup and hoping for an eventful game.
