From our viewpoint, Pucela seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Andre Ferreira, Luis Perez, Javi Sanchez, Eray Coemert, Adam Aznou, Florian Grillitsch, Tamas Nikitscher, Mario Martin, Juanmi Latasa, Raul Moro and Mamadou Sylla.

🧠 Prediction

Sadly for them, Real Valladolid could find it really hard going to put even one past this Real Sociedad team who have the quality to win very easily indeed.

We’re tipping a very comprehensive 4-0 belting with possibly more for Real Sociedad at full-time.
