Struggling Sociedad are still a threat at home

Real Sociedad have struggled to focus on their La Liga campaign since lifting the Spanish Cup last month, and they head into this clash winless in six league outings.

Sociedad have been shaky defensively, shipping 13 goals across their last seven matches in all competitions. They’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in that, run, which has seen them suffer a defeat at home to Getafe, along with draws against Betis and Alaves.

Valencia are enjoying a late flourish, and they’ve climbed within reach of the top half after losing only one of their last five games. However, they’ve failed to win 14 of 18 away trips this season, shipping 29 goals.

However, Sociedad have continued their impressive underlying numbers at home. They had 2.4 xG in their 2-2 draw with Real Betis in their last game at this ground, taking their xG tally to 18.44 across their last nine matches.

Valencia have scored in 13 of their last 15 away trips, while the meeting between the pair in August finished 1-1.
