Match preview

Barcelona host Real Sociedad in the La Liga on 28 September 2025. Barcelona sit 1st on 85 points and Real Sociedad are 18th on 39. Barcelona have won 4 of their last 5 (DWWWW), while Real Sociedad have won 1 of 5 (DLLLW). In their last 1 meetings, Barcelona won 0, Real Sociedad won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
