Valencia, Recent FormValencia manager Rubén Baraja will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Almeria. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Almeria, who had 17 shots on goal with 10 on target.
Baraja will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form at The Estadio de Mestalla recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Javi Guerra will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Valencia.
Real Sociedad, Recent FormReal Sociedad will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 4-3 home win against Getafe. In that game they recorded 61 % of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 10 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Sociedad will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Takefusa Kubo will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Real Sociedad's last 6 league games.
It ended in disappointment and a 1-0 defeat for Real Sociedad last time they met Valencia in the league, with Los Che defying the odds to take the win.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The Estadio de Mestalla, Txuri-Urdin have been unable to break through the Valencia defence and find the back of the net.
In the league, Valencia has had a good run at home against Sociedad, being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings at The Estadio de Mestalla.
Valencia manager Rubén Baraja has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sergi Canós (Hamstring), Dimitri Foulquier (Muscle), Alberto Marí (Thigh) and Gabriel Paulista (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Imanol Alguacil has a number of injury concerns in his Sociedad squad to contend with: Ander Barrenetxea (Hamstring), Aritz Elustondo (Physical discomfort), Martín Merquelanz (Knee) and André Silva (Hip)
