Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Valencia and Real Sociedad face each other at Estadio de Mestalla in what is expected to be a very exciting La Liga game. Los Che head into the match following a 2-1 loss to Cadiz where Mouctar Diakhaby was racially insulted by Juan Cala. Valencia are eyeing their fifth consecutive win at home ground, but the game against La Real will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Both Eliaquim Mangala and Jasper Cillessen miss the game with injuries.
The Basques, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from the massive 6-1 defeat to Barcelona, with the team winning the 2019/20 Copa del Rey trophy. Real Sociedad aim to regain their spot in top six, but beating Valencia at Mestalla is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The bad news for the visitors is that important midfielder David Silva suffered an injury at the weekend.
Highlighted Player (Denis Cheryshev):
Probably the most famous Russian footballer never to have played for a domestic club, Denis Cheryshev was born in Nizhny Novgorod, but began his career at Sporting Gijon as his father played for the Spanish side at the time.
The talented winger eventually caught the eye of Real Madrid and went on to spend eight years in the youth academy at Santiago Bernabeu before he was given a chance to impress on senior level. Due to a fierce competition for places in Madrid, Cheryshev was forced to gain much needed first team experience via loan spells at Sevilla, Villarreal and Valencia, and he showed a great deal of potential during those stints, proving los Blancos were wrong to let him leave.
Chersyhev has been in and out of the Russia national team since making his debut in 2012, but there is a good chance he will become an important member of Sbornaya Komanda as soon as he secures regular playing time at club level. The Russian footballer is capable of operating on either wing or through the middle, and he has proved to be quite prolific in terms of both goals and assists.
Highlighted Team (Real Sociedad):
