Real Sociedad vs Valencia Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one, there is no clear favorite on this occasion, since both sets are dandy and offensive by nature. Because of this and knowing that the Basques tend to increase their performance in Anoeta, we believe that the balance can be balanced in this opportunity. Paint to be an open duel and with spaces due to the proposal captured by the square “che” of visit. Considering this, we believe that the tie is the best option to bet.
Real Sociedad:
The Basque side does not reach this match well after 2-2 against Rayo Vallecano at home and ratify its irregularity in terms of results. These days, he has 8 points in the table, product of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 total falls. In terms of goals, he has scored 9 and has given 9 on his fence, lacking greater balance between lines. The striking thing about the team is that it has good forward midfield players, who can not do much either if the defenders always defend badly.
As a local at Anoeta, Real Sociedad have played two matches so far, after losing 1-2 to Barcelona and leveling 2-2 against Rayo Vallecano as mentioned in the previous paragraph. If we analyze the performance of the team in this condition, we can conclude that it is still dabbled between the lines thanks to the good standing of its players. Of course, he needs to continue improving in defense, since he usually leaves spaces when making the transitions defense-attack and attack-defense. For this duel it is expected that the technician Asier Garitano take his precautions, since it will clash with a rival of hierarchy in his actions.
Valencia:
The present of the picture “che” does not go well to this match after equalizing 1-1 against Celta in Mestalla and add 6 games without winning in the competition (5 draws and 1 loss). With 6 points in the table, you need to cut this bad streak because it is affecting the team from the soul and from the football. It should be noted that the boys of Marcelino have reaped 4 parities in a row, lacking effectiveness in offensive and defensive matters. It is time that the referents appear to change this situation.
As a visitor, Valencia has played 3 matches so far, managing to score 2 points out of 9. It comes from losing 2-0 against Espanyol, to equal 2-2 before Levante in the classic and to tie 0-0 against Villarreal in Madrigal. If we analyze the performance of the equipment in this condition, we can conclude that it knows how to stand between the lines. Gone was the defeat to the “parakeets”, greatly improving their defensive level in this last presentation. For this exit it is expected that the squad “che” take its precautions, as it will strike against a fit and offensive opponent by nature.
In the last 4 and a half years, Real Sociedad and Valencia have played 5 matches in Anoeta. These were the markers of those matches: Victory 1-0 of Real Sociedad in March 2014, 1-1 draw in September 2014, 2-0 win for Real Sociedad in January 2016, 3-2 victory for Real Society in December 2016 and win 2-3 of Valencia in September 2017. Apparently, every time both teams clash, there are always goals in between. Therefore, we should not be surprised if they recover from a hypothetical initial disadvantage and that the bet is “both teams score”. Considering this, it is logical that they finish equal after the final whistle.
