Real Sociedad form and stats

8 victories, 6 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Real Sociedad have to build on here at Reale Arena in the La Liga. Two home wins in a row for Sociedad bring valid hopes of a third.

Sociedad are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Atletico Madrid. Martín Merquelanz, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.63 (out of 10). Merquelanz served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Elche.

Real Valladolid form and stats

Real Valladolid, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in La Liga, have only collected 15 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 2-9-7 (18 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Real Valladolid, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Getafe game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Valladolid are looking to quickly end their 202 minutes long goal drought in the La Liga.

Midfielder Toni Villa was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.11. Villa hit three key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Valencia wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Real Valladolid playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, three draws and one home win.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Real Valladolid as they have only managed to score 14 times from 18 away games in the league. Valladolid have conceded 23 goals in these away matches.
