It's early days in the La Liga and both Real Sociedad and Valencia are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Real Sociedad and Valencia.
Real Sociedad form and stats
A La Liga draw at home so far for Real Sociedad. Last season their home statistics were 9 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 19 matches.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Real Sociedad, as their goalkeeper Alejandro Remiro Gargallo has completely shut out the opponents for 231 minutes in the La Liga.
Happy days for Real Sociedad in their previous game, a La Liga match away at Elche (placed 20th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. In the match before that, Sociedad hosted Real Madrid and drew the game 0-0.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Real Sociedad matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and three defeats (from six games).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Real Sociedad as they have a new game in only four days, a La Liga match thankfully also at home. Getafe are visiting.
Real Sociedad has the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Valencia form and stats
Valencia have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the La Liga were 3 victories, 4 draws and 12 defeats from 19 fixtures.
Valencia's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Huesca that finished 1-1. A 1-2 defeat away at Celta de Vigo before that.
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 Valencia playing away, we found three games. Results were two away wins, zero draws and one home win.
A new game in only four days for Valencia, the La Liga home match versus Real Betis. Busy days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Valencia has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
Real Sociedad-Valencia H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Real Sociedad five wins, Valencia three wins, two draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Real Sociedad missing players
