They find themselves 16 points behind log leaders and archrivals, FC Barcelona. Los Blancos have a lot of hard work to put in if they are to catch the unstoppable Catalonian giants.

Real Sociedad v FC Barcelona (LaLiga)
Match 6 Soccer 6
14 January S6 V1 P1
League rankings: Barcelona 1st Real Sociedad 11th
Useful facts: With the latest addition to Barca's attack, Phillipe Coutinho, it will become even more difficult to stop the runaway Catalonian giants. Comfortably leading the second-placed Atletico Madrid, Ernesto Valverde's charges will look to continue where they left off, having easily cruised past Celta Vigo last weekend. With the Whites and Blues' poor run in the league, the visitors look a sure bet to extend the gap and remain on top of the log until the last day of the LaLiga campaign. The Royals haven't registered a win against Barca since May 2016 and they will look to change that when they welcome them at Estadio Municipal de Anoeta this coming Sunday. The last time these two clashed, it was the log leaders who claimed a 3-2 victory, in May 2017.
