Bookmaker Ratings prediction three – Handicap Draw (Valencia +1 goal) – 4.33
Valencia have three defeats and a draw in their last four league games, they are in a very bad moment, while Real Sociedad are a solid team and very good defensively, something that Valencia lack. We see Real Sociedad as slight favourites to win this match.
Valencia’s last five matches have had a total of 22 goals, a very high number of goals, while Real Sociedad’s last five matches have had 11 goals, a much lower number. Taking into account the goals per game of both teams, we think it could be a game with both teams scoring and with a final score of 1-2 in favour of Real Sociedad.
As we think that Valencia will end up losing this match by a goal difference, we think it is a good handicap to add a goal to make the final result of the match a draw.
Valencia’s last five matches can be summed up as interesting matches for the fans of this game, but for their coach, José Bordalás, they have been horrible matches, as they have three defeats and a draw in those four matches, having scored five goals and conceded ten goals in those matches.
Valencia are the tenth best home team in the competition so far, with four wins, five draws and two defeats in 11 matches. They have scored a total of 18 goals and conceded 13 goals.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, continue their usual pattern of close, low-scoring games, having taken five points from their last three matches thanks to one win and two draws, only needing two goals to do so, while conceding just one goal in those games.
Real Sociedad is the team that has won the most games after ending the first half in a draw, on six occasions. Therefore, it can be said that they are a conservative team in the first half and that they increase the pace of the game in the second half.
As we have said before, Real Sociedad’s games tend to be quiet in the first half, as they have the ability to control the rhythm, which is why we think that the game will still be tied after 30 minutes of play. This bet has odds of 1.60 at William Hill.
Valencia are without Gabriel Paulista and Jasper Cillessen through injury. Valencia’s new recruits from the winter transfer window; Eray Comert, Ilaix Moriba and Bryan Gil are likely to be in the squad for this game.
Real Sociedad are missing Carlos Fernández, Natxo Monreal and Ander Barrenetxea through injury.
