Real Valladolid

LWLDLL

Real Valladolid will be hoping for a better result after a 3-1 La Liga defeat last time out to Celta Vigo.

In that match, Real Valladolid managed 46% possession and 6 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Real Valladolid was Raúl Moro (50'). For their opponents, Celta Vigo got 14 attempts at goal with 9 on target. Hugo Álvarez (22'), Borja Iglesias (35') and Tasos Douvikas (91') scored for Celta Vigo.

Real Valladolid have found it difficult to unlock defences of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure stands at just 3 versus opposing sides over their previous 6 matches. In those games, Real Valladolid have also seen the number of goals scored against them total 15.

Their past results show that Real Valladolid:

• have not been beaten in the league by Real Sociedad in their last 2 games.
• have not been beaten in their last 12 league matches at home. A very good run at home.

Real Sociedad

LWLDLL

Since a loss in their previous game against Mallorca in La Liga action, Real Sociedad and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Real Sociedad had 59% possession and 13 shots at goal with 5 on target. Mallorca got 10 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Abdón Prats (36') scored for Mallorca.

The attacking players from Real Sociedad have made hard work of scoring goals over their last 6 encounters, contributing the disappointing return of just 3. In those fixtures, Txuri-urdin have also seen the overall goal tally of their opponents equal 8. We will see if that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

Ahead of this meeting, Real Sociedad haven't beaten Real Valladolid in games played away from home for the previous 8 league matches. Not an away record to be proud of.

↔️ Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head duels dating back to 28/02/2020, neither club has come out on top overall with Real Valladolid winning 2 of those games, Real Sociedad 2 and 2 being draws in normal time.

A combined sum of 10 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 4 from Pucela and 6 netted by Txuri-urdin. That’s an average goals per game of 1.67.

ℹ️ Team News: Real Valladolid

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Real Valladolid gaffer Paulo Pezzolano to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy squad. Anuar (Inguinal hernia) won’t play.

In our view, Pucela will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for this one with Karl Hein, Luis Perez, Juma Bah, Cenk Ozkacar, Lucas Rosa, Victor Meseguer, Stanko Juric, Darwin Machis, Selim Amallah, Raul Moro and Juanmi Latasa.

🗞️ Team News: Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Álvaro Odriozola (Ankle injury), Arsen Zakharyan (Tendon tear) and Hamari Traoré (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be making appearances.

We reckon that Txuri-urdin seem most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 formation, giving starts to Alex Remiro, Jon Aramburu, Igor Zubeldia, Nayef Aguerd, Sergio Gomez, Benat Turrientes, Martin Zubimendi, Luka Sucic, Takefusa Kubo, Orri Oskarsson and Sheraldo Becker.

⚡ Prediction

We feel that Real Valladolid will need to put in a solid display to hit the back of the net against this Real Sociedad lineup who we think might just have the edge.

We’re therefore predicting a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 advantage for Real Sociedad at the end of the 90.

Hoping for a good game.
