Betting on Valencia
Even without being Valencia fans, many are saddened by the complex situation in which such a historic team finds itself, given that it has already had three coaches and none of them have been able to get the best out of the squad. Indeed, Valencia reached this matchday 23 in the penultimate place in the standings and strongly committed to relegation for the first time in many years.
Borja Mayoral’s goal sealed Getafe’s 1-0 win over Valencia last matchday, which in turn marked the fifth league defeat in a row for the Ché. Having gone scoreless in four of those five losses demonstrates the recent offensive struggles of a Valencia, a team that is one of the four teams at the bottom of the standings that has allowed the highest amount of goals.
Although the team has also failed to win in its last four official matches in front of their home fans, returning to the Mestalla Stadium may give Valencia what it needs to break its current dreadful run. Indeed, it is at that venue that the team has scored 69% (18) of its league goals this campaign.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Giorgi Mamardashvili; Dimitri Foulquier, Eray Cömert, Mouctar Diakhaby, José Gayá; Yunus Musah, Hugo Guillamón, André Almeida, Justin Kluivert; Hugo Duro, Samuel Lino.
Betting on Real Sociedad
On the other hand, an own goal in the last minute of its last matchday, prevented Real Sociedad from achieving a second win in a row, drawing 1-1 against Celta Vigo. Despite this, the Basque team’s season has been praiseworthy, as it is third in the standings with 43 points.
The team’s hopes of returning to the Champions League remain intact, however, with Atletico Madrid now only two points behind, Real Sociedad knows it cannot relax just yet. However, the team has only been able to achieve one win in its last ten meetings with Valencia, so getting three points in this match could be a complicated mission.
Even so, Imanol Alguacil’s team will surely go into this match feeling confident, considering that this campaign the team has scored more points on the road (25) than at home (18).
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Alex Remiro; Ander Barrenetxea, Igor Zubeldía, Robin Le Normand, Diego Rico; Takefusa Kubo, Asier Illarramendi, Martín Zubimendi, Brais Méndez; Alexander Sorloth, Mikel Oyarzábal.
JefeBet Prediction
Real Sociedad’s away performance has been remarkable, only Barcelona and Real Madrid has score more points in that condition so far. In this match against Valencia, the team will have a great opportunity to improve on its numbers, more so considering that it will be playing against a team that has been in free fall and showing no signs of improvement.
Real Sociedad has allowed just ten goals away from home this season, so it will be a tough opponent for a Valencia team that has scored 18 goals in 11 home matches, but that has been terrible in attack recently.
The Basque team is usually very solid in all its lines, so we expect it to take advantage of such asset in this duel against a team with many problems like Valencia. We also expect Real Sociedad to take the victory.
Prediction: Real Sociedad Moneyline (VAL 1-2 RSO).
