Real Sociedad prepare for this game following a 1-1 Europa League draw vs Nice.

In that game, Real Sociedad had 45% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Real Sociedad was Barrenetxea (18'). On the other side, Nice had 10 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Pablo Rosario (45') was the scorer for Nice.

Real Sociedad haven’t made the most of their chances of late. Their sum of goals stands at just 2 against opponents over their previous 6 fixtures. In those meetings, Real Sociedad have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them come to 5.

Their past results show that Real Sociedad:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Valencia in their last 2 matches.

In those fixtures, Los Che have also seen the overall goal tally against them equal 8. Nevertheless, time will tell whether the trend shall continue on in this game.

• are without an away win for the past 6 league matches.

📰 Team News: Real Sociedad

Álvaro Odriozola (Ankle injury), Arsen Zakharyan (Tendon tear) and Hamari Traoré (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil.

In all likelihood, Txuri-urdin look set to kick off with a 4-3-3 system in the match featuring Alex Remiro, Jon Aramburu, Igor Zubeldia, Nayef Aguerd, Javi Lopez, Brais Mendez, Martin Zubimendi, Luka Sucic, Takefusa Kubo, Mikel Oyarzabal and Sergio Gomez.

📋 Team News: Valencia

We are inclined to think that Los Che appear most likely to elect for a 4-4-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Giorgi Mamardashvili, Thierry Correia, Cesar Tarrega, Cristhian Mosquera, Jesus Vazquez, Diego Lopez, Enzo Barrenechea, Pepelu, Luis Rioja, Andre Almeida and Hugo Duro.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment is that Real Sociedad will more than likely get a couple of goals in this one when they face Valencia, who might well find it difficult getting on the scoresheet.

We reckon that it will be a decent 2-0 winning score for Real Sociedad at full-time.
