Valencia vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Valencia Form

Valencia suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches, as they were run over by Barcelona in a 0-5 defeat. Sevilla also proved too hard to handle, as they won 1-0, before Valencia were able to strike back last time out in a 0-1 win against Deportivo Alaves. Valencia only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Estadio Mestalla in the LaLiga. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored four and conceded ten goals.

A mid-table finish seemed likely for Valencia but in current form they could be dragged into a relegation battle.

Real Sociedad Form

In their last three matches, Real Sociedad won 2-3 win against Elche, lost 0-3 against Atletico Madrid and lost 1-2 against Bournemouth. Real Sociedad only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the LaLiga. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by ten goals to six.

Real Sociedad had their sights set on the LaLiga title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Real Sociedad and Valencia are almost always cautious, when going toe-to-toe with each other, which makes under 2.5 goals the value bet this coming Sunday.

Valencia are looking at a record of one win, one draw and four defeats in the LaLiga this season. Real Sociedad have a record of two wins, one draw and three defeats in the LaLiga.
