Valencia vs Real Sociedad

Current streaks

Recent form

Valencia

Valencia's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing resilience in cup competitions but struggling in La Liga. Despite their lowly 20th position in the league, Valencia have managed to remain unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions, including two clean sheet victories in the Copa del Rey. Their league form, however, has been less impressive, with three consecutive draws followed by a narrow loss to Real Madrid. The team's defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding just six goals in their last six games, but their attacking output has been modest, averaging 1.5 goals per game. Interestingly, 67% of Valencia's recent matches have seen both teams score, suggesting they are involved in competitive encounters despite their league position. The fact that two-thirds of their games have finished with under 2.5 goals indicates a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs.

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad have shown impressive form recently, securing four wins in their last six matches across all competitions. The Basque side have been particularly solid defensively, keeping five clean sheets in this period and conceding just two goals. Their attacking output has been decent, netting nine times for an average of 1.5 goals per game. Notably, Real Sociedad are currently on a two-match winning streak in La Liga, which they'll be keen to extend. Their most convincing victories came in back-to-back 3-0 wins against Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League and Leganés in La Liga, demonstrating their ability to dominate both domestically and in Europe. Interestingly, none of their last six matches have seen both teams score, highlighting their defensive resilience.

Recent home/away form

Valencia

Valencia's recent home form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find consistent positive results at their Mestalla stadium. In their last six home matches, Valencia have managed only one win, drawing twice and losing three times. The team's defensive record has been a concern, conceding 10 goals in these six games, with only one clean sheet. However, their attack has shown some promise, scoring 9 goals in the same period, including a high-scoring 4-2 victory against Real Betis. This match, along with the 3-2 loss to Las Palmas, highlights Valencia's tendency for high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their recent home games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their struggles, Valencia have been involved in entertaining matches, with both teams scoring in two-thirds of these fixtures, suggesting their games are often closely contested affairs.

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad have shown impressive form away from home, winning four of their last six matches on the road. The Basque side have been particularly strong defensively, keeping four clean sheets in these six away fixtures and conceding only three goals in total. Their attacking prowess has been noteworthy as well, with a standout 5-0 victory against Jove Español in the Copa del Rey. Real Sociedad have managed to score in five of these six away matches, netting 11 goals at an average of 1.83 per game. Interestingly, both teams have not scored in any of these six matches, highlighting Real Sociedad's ability to control games away from home. The team's recent away form includes a run of three consecutive wins, demonstrating their growing confidence on their travels.
