THE PREDICTION

Disarray would be the way to describe Barcelona… and yet, their pre-season performances and results have been reasonably impressive. Don’t make judgements based on pre-season, though. Barcelona were bad for the majority of last season and they only came good for a top four finish and a title challenge because they had a very special player that dominated the play… well, he isn’t there now. That could provoke some sort of unity and attacking cohesion from the remaining players that are evidently talented but there will be legitimate fears that the top four is out of reach. One of those teams looking to push ahead of Barca will be Real Sociedad. La Real have missed out on the top four two seasons running now but they have added some depth with Diego Rico and Mat Ryan. The visitors will fancy their chances of getting something and a draw seems a strong bet.
