Match preview: Valencia vs Real Sociedad
Valencia and Real Sociedad meet at the Mestalla Stadium for their La Liga opener. Historical encounters at this venue reveal a competitive balance, with two draws and one win apiece in their last four clashes. However, in their latest face-off here, Valencia secured a narrow 1-0 victory back on 19 January 2025, thanks to a goal from Hugo Duro. The home advantage could play a crucial role, especially considering Real Sociedad’s inconsistent performances both at home and away.
Team analysis: Valencia
This match marks the beginning of the current season for Valencia, who finished in 11th place last year. Their results show little variation between home and away performances. Over the last 30 games, they registered 4 wins, 7 draws, and 4 losses as visitors, scoring 19 and conceding 23. At home, they showed slightly better figures with 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, having scored 17 goals and conceded 18. In their last outing, Valencia were defeated 2-0 by Borussia Mönchengladbach in a friendly. Their last ten home fixtures yielded 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. The team has struggled defensively, allowing goals in 8 of their last 10 encounters, yet they’ve found the net in 7 of those matches. Notably, in 15 games, they have conceded the first goal 6 times without turning around the score.
Valencia heads into this clash after a 3-0 victory in a friendly against Torino, with goals netted by Luis Rioja and Javi Guerra (2). The home side typically sets up in a 4-3-3 formation, focusing on rapid transitions down the flanks. Key figures in the attack include Diego López, Hugo Duro, and Dani Raba, with the left flank being particularly prominent through José Gayà’s advancements. All players should be available for selection for this match.
Team analysis: Real Sociedad
The visitors are kicking off their campaign after finishing 12th last season. They have historically performed better at home, as highlighted by their last 30 outings where they recorded 3 wins, 2 draws, and 10 losses away from home, scoring 16 and conceding 35. Conversely, at home, they secured 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, with 23 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last friendly, they drew 0-0 against Bournemouth. Real Sociedad’s last ten matches as visitors saw them win only once, drawing 3 and losing 6. Defensive solidity has been an issue, with goals conceded in 9 of their last 10 matches, and the attack has faltered, failing to score in 7 of their last 10 games. They conceded the first goal in 7 of those 15 matches without finding a way to come back into games.
Real Sociedad’s last outing ended goalless against Bournemouth, showcasing their struggle in front of goal. They generally employ a 4-3-3 tactical setup, preferring a direct style with quick attacking transitions. Key players in their offensive line include Orri Oskarsson, Mikel Oyarzabal, and Takefusa Kubo, with the left flank often exploited by defender Sergio Gómez’s runs. All players are fit for this encounter.
