FC Barcelona will be hoping to end the streak tomorrow, as they travel to the Basque Country hoping to record their first win in their last nine visits to the Anoeta against Real Sociedad. The Blaugrana enter the match in good form, having rebounded from their shaky start to 2017, while Sociedad have struggled somewhat in recent weeks, providing a renewed sense of optimism that maybe, just maybe this could be the time that Barça broke their jinx.
Despite defeating Villarreal in the previous round, Sociedad’s La Liga form since returning from the winter break has been patchy; a 2-0 win at La Rosaleda on Monday was impressive, but the 0-4 home drubbing inflicted by Sevilla demonstrates their fragility.
