Valencia will be looking to build on a morale-boosting 1-0 victory over Alaves when they take on Real Sociedad in the closing match of La Liga round 7. Interim boss Oscar Sanchez is already making a positive impact following Carlos Corberan’s departure, but Sunday's clash will be anything but a walk in the park for los Che. Valencia have struggled badly at home, winning none of their last five matches there and scoring just 0.40 goals per game. Luis Rioja, who scored the winner against Alaves, is doubtful after picking up a knock later in the game.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, were not in action in midweek as they faced Bournemouth in their Europa League opener, suffering a 2-1 defeat. La Real are also coming off a disappointing 3-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in their last league outing. The Basques have conceded 2.33 goals per game across their last six away matches, with BTTS landing in 83%. Jon Martin returns from suspension, while Luka Sucic and Goncalo Guedes are pushing for starts.
Both teams scored in 83% of Real Sociedad’s last six away matches, while Valencia have conceded in eight of their last 10 overall. Therefore, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip for this La Liga matchup, alongside Over 1.5 goals (59% of the previous 32 H2H meetings produced at least two goals, while Real Sociedad’s away matches average 3.50 goals).
This Primera Division match will be played on Sunday 20 September 2026 at 20:00.
