Prediction
Real Sociedad 1-3 Barcelona
The situation has changed dramatically since the last meeting of the two sides not so long ago. Real Sociedad are struggling to win games right now, while Barcelona have barely been stopped lately and Blaugrana are their worst enemy even though they did.
Having said that, Imanol Alguasil has built a resilient team that will give Barcelona the opportunity to spend their money on most of Wednesday's game. However, given that Lionel Messi, Frenkie de Jong and Pedri are unstoppable, and Antoine Griezmann is steadily improving, the Catalans need to be clean as the minutes go by. To that end, The Hard Tackle predicts a 3-1 win for Barcelona to secure the Supercopa de Espana final.
