Real Sociedad vs Valladolid Prediction & Betting tips
The Basque side leaves as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it has, which has been intermittent throughout the competition. For this reason and knowing that the team is naturally dampened, we believe that its simple win is interesting to bet on. Of course, it paints so that the duel is intense and fought in the midfield by the proposal of the “blanquivioletas”. In the end, we trust that the boys of Asier Garitano win by their greater hierarchy between lines and especially because the visit usually makes some mistakes in defense when acting away from their stadium.
Real Sociedad:
The Basque side is beaten to this match after losing 1-0 with Betis, staying with 19 points in total. Thanks to this defeat, it cut a streak of 3 games without losing, product of an equality and 2 consecutive victories. The team can not win two games in a row, costing it a lot to be reliable in defensive matters. Now the goal of the squad is to recover the lost confidence and get into the fight by sneaking into positions of European competitions. It has good players to do this, but it needs to be effective facing the opposing goal.
As a local in Anoeta, Real Sociedad has added negative results so far, showing it by only adding 1 win in 6 presentations. From there, in more, he won 3 draws and 2 falls in total (5 goals in favor and 6 against). He comes from winning his first game against his people, after defeating Celta de Vigo 2-1. Previously tied 0-0 against Girona and 0-0 against Sevilla. For this duel is expected that the boys of Asier Garitano risk but without losing the balance between lines. The ideal is that they are fine at the time of elaboration, since their rival is characterized by marking.
Valladolid:
The picture “blanquivioleta” does not go well to this duel after losing 2-4 to Leganés at home and add 5 games without being able to win (2 draws and 3 losses). These days, he has 17 points in the table, his goal being to cut the losing streak and not commit to the direct decline. Of course, you need to improve the brand as it is, since it has lowered its production in recent weeks. Within everything, it remains a rough and complicated set to overcome, since the order and the brand prevail over everything in its football proposal.
As a visitor, Valladolid has registered acceptable markers to a certain point, after winning 2 matches, equaling another 3 and losing the remaining 2 that played in this condition. Yes, he has lost his last two starts, leaving behind a streak of 5 games without losing away from home. The setbacks were 2-0 against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu and 2-0 against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán. The last duel where he could score was against Betis in Benito Villamarín (triumph 0-1). For this exit, the goal of the “blanquivioletas” is to cut the offensive circuits of his rival, which is known to be dapper when he has the ball.
In the last 6 years, Real Sociedad and Valladolid have met 3 times in Anoeta. These were the results of those matches: Victory 4-1 of the Real Sociedad in March 2013 by the Santander League, 1-0 win of the Real Sociedad in March 2014 by the Santander League and 1-1 draw in December 2016 for the Copa del Rey. Apparently, the Basque side has a slight paternity over its rival, beyond the cup butt. Of course, do not face long ago due to the long time that was the visit in the second Spanish division.
