Valencia have been in a strong run of form recently, winning three of their last five matches, including an impressive 4-3 victory away. They have shown they can score goals and grind out results. Real Sociedad, meanwhile, have been a bit more inconsistent, with two draws and a loss in their last three away games, though they did share a high-scoring game with Valencia in that same recent 4-3 match.

The history between these two sides suggests games can go either way, but they aren't usually packed with goals. Looking at their recent results and the fact that this is a home game for a confident Valencia side, they seem to be in better shape to take control. This feels like a close contest, but Valencia's good run gives them the edge to win a tight match.
