Predictions favor Real Sociedad for this encounter, with expert analyses suggesting a likely scoreline of 1-2 in favor of the visitors. This forecast is supported by their superior head-to-head record and current form. While Celta's home games have shown potential for improvement—winning two consecutive matches against Basque teams—their overall inconsistency may hinder their performance against a determined opponent like Real Sociedad.

Barcelona faced an unexpected defeat before the international break but is expected to bounce back against Celta. Despite missing the influential Yamal, they possess enough offensive strength to exploit one of the league's weakest defenses. While only a few La Liga teams have outscored Celta this season, they have the attacking capability to exploit any lapses in Barcelona's defense.
