Valencia vs Real Sociedad Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th August 2025
Real Sociedad face a daunting first assignment in the LaLiga when they visit the title favourites Valencia on the opening day of the new campaign.
Their upcoming match is a difficult challenge for Valencia, who next face Real Sociedad in their continuous fight to avoid relegation. They should be highly motivated to spring a surprise, even against a tough opponent like Real Sociedad.

Real Sociedad are currently not the most scoring team in the LaLiga, as they only found the back of the net ten times in ten matches. This is an average of just one goals a game in which they conceded 16 times, an average of 1.6 per game. They managed one clean sheets in these.

Valencia vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Valencia Form
Valencia only added a single draw to their account in their last three games, where they lost 1-0 and 0-1 against Deportivo Alaves and Athletic Club respectively. At least they managed a 1-1 draw with Real Betis. Valencia won four of their previous six LaLiga games at the Estadio Mestalla. They both drew and lost once, as they conceded three and scored eight goals.
Real Sociedad Form
It is all or nothing with Real Sociedad, who only triumphed once in their previous three outings. They were defeated 0-1 against Celta Vigo, before beating Girona 3-2. Unable to build on that, they lost 2-0 against Real Madrid. Real Sociedad claimed just one win from the last six away games in the LaLiga. They also drew two and were defeated three times, as they were outscored by 12 goals to seven.
Valencia and Real Sociedad seem a fairly equal pairing right now, with not a lot to separate the two sides. As such, going for a draw in the betting market seem worth a punt.
