LiontipsValencia vs. Real Sociedad. Spanish Championship Match Prediction
Command Analysis
Current form
Valencia is at the bottom of the Primera table, with only 13 points in 19 games. The situation cannot yet be called hopeless, as the gap from the saving 17th place is seven points and there is still a game in hand. Over the last five rounds, Carlos Corberan charges have suffered only two defeats, and in three matches they have drawn with their opponents. In the previous La Liga match, they managed to earn one point away from home to Sevilla (1:1). The day before, Valencia successfully overcame the 1/8 finals of the Spanish Cup, beating Ourense away with a score of 2:0. It is worth noting that Max Aarons from Bournemouth and Umar Sadik from Real Sociedad have joined the team.
Disqualifications and injuries
Correia, Diakhaby and Mir will not be able to take part in the game.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last two matches involving Valencia, the score in the first half was 0:0
- Valencia have lost to their upcoming opponent in their previous three head-to-head encounters
Probable line-up: Cristian Rivero – Thierry Correia, Gabriel Paulista, Dimitri Foulquier, Jose Gaya – Yunus Musa, Hugo Guillamon, Andre Almeida – Samu Castillejo, Hugo Duro, Fran Perez.
Current form
Real Sociedad is fighting for a place in the European Cups for the next season. The team approaches the upcoming match in seventh place in the table, two points behind sixth-placed Mallorca. Undoubtedly, the results could have been better, but Imanol Alguacil charges lack stability. Thus, in the last three rounds they managed to win, lose and draw. Moreover, they lost points in matches with far from the most formidable opponents, Las Palmas (0:0) and Celta (0:2), and defeated a top-5 representative Villarreal (1:0). In the Cup, Real Sociedad easily beat Rayo Vallecano (3:1) in the 1/8 finals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Traore will not play due to injury. Zakharyan appearance on the field is in question. Aramburu will serve a disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
- Only one of Real Sociedad last five matches has featured an exchange of goals
- In three of the team previous five matches, the first half ended with a 0-0 score
Remiro - Tierney, Le Normand, Pacheco, Merino - Kubo, Mendes, Marin, Sorloth - Oyarzabal, Sadiku.

13.00Tip and bets
Taking into account the tournament position, Real Sociedad is given the status of favorite by bookmakers. However, Valencia has not lost hope of leaving the last place, is fighting for survival, is in good shape and is unlikely to give up three points without a fight today. Plus, the Basques traditionally do not play away matches very confidently, in Primera they have lost two of their three previous matches away. We believe that the hosts will have a chance of a positive outcome.
Our prediction is a Valencia win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.23
Bet on total
The hosts have nothing to lose, they will obviously be able to go forward with a large enough force and play for their goal, especially since they scored goals on their home field in four of the five previous matches. Real Sociedad is dangerous on the counterattack, has a clear implementation and is unlikely to leave the opponent dry today.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 2.33
