Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Valencia and Real Sociedad face each other at Estadio de Mestalla in a highly-anticipated La Liga game. Los Che were on the verge of beating Atletico Madrid on the road, but los Rojiblancos eventually scored two late goals to seal the victory. Valencia aim to get back on course as soon as possible, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at La Real. Important full-back Jose Gaya is back from suspension, while both Omar Alderete and Jasper Cillessen remain in the recovery room.
The Basques, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Getafe. Considering that Real Sociedad collected only one point in total from the last three away games, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Valencia. Fit-again attacker Alexander Isak returns to the starting XI, as well as experienced midfielder David Silva, while Mikel Merino is back from suspension.
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):
