Why this match?
Barcelona are top of the league right now, unbeaten all season. Real Sociedad are a long way further down, so Barcelona will be expected to win. Big home crowds turn up for these games anyway, and a win keeps the run going.
Real Sociedad come from San Sebastián in the Basque Country. Basque clubs bring their own football culture with them, and their travelling support is usually loud for its size.
