FC Barcelona (10-2-0, 30 points) has taken a firm hold of the 2015-2016 La Liga leadership with a huge victory in last Saturday's El Clasico. They now host Real Sociedad (3-6-3, 12 points), who are also coming off a big win, at the Camp Nou on November 28.
Barça destroyed fierce rival Real Madrid, 4-0, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Saturday to clear itself four points over second-running Atletico Madrid in the league table, as per SkySports.
Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez completed a brace for the Catalonia giants while Brazilian winger Neymar and team captain Andres Iniesta contributed a goal each en route to the dominating victory.
Lionel Messi was back and saw action late in the second half, but Luis Enrique's men were already leading 3-0 by the time the four-time Ballon d'Or winner stepped inside the pitch.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad pulled off a 2-0 upset over Sevilla at the Anoeta Stadium also on Saturday, as reported by ESPN.
Striker Imanol Agirretxe and team captain Xabi Prieto scored one goal apiece at the 73rd and 77th-minute marks to come away with the lopsided victory after a grueling first hour and 10 minutes of play.
With the win, Txuriurdin snapped its two-game losing skid to move slightly up in the overall standings at the 14th spot.
Suárez and Neymar are expected to lead Enrique's gang once again in this match as the two South American players are both performing in top form as of late, leading Barça to its current five-game winning streak.
The predicted result is Barcelona over Real Sociedad, 3-0.
