The Copa del Rey has reached the quarter-final stages, and in our featured match, we will see two of the best teams in Spain this season, Barcelona and Real Sociedad, go head to head at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night for a place in the penultimate round. The visitors are currently in third place in the league, with 38 points in 18 matches, three behind Real Madrid and six off their opponents at the top of the league. Real Sociedad approach this match in excellent form, winning seven successive games while keeping four consecutive clean sheets in their away matches. Real Sociedad bowed out of this competition at this stage last season to eventual winners Real Betis and will want to go one better this time around.

Barcelona will also be carrying excellent momentum into this match, having not lost a single match in their last eleven, which includes six consecutive wins. They are currently in pole position in La Liga, and after getting knocked out of the Champions League, they will want to secure the domestic cup at all costs. Barcelona has been the vastly dominant side in this match in the past and is undefeated in their last six encounters against this opposition, winning five and drawing one. Barcelona was dumped out of this competition in the Round of 16 last season, and despite their opposition's incredible recent form, Barcelona will fancy themselves to extend their successful record against Sociedad in this one.
