It has been a reliable start to the season for Valencia and Real Sociedad, as both comfortably sit inside the top ten places. However, whichever side is able to claim maximum points this weekend could end the round in the top six spots in La Liga.
La Liga Preview
Valencia have made an encouraging start to the new season, as they have quickly put their disappointments from the previous campaign behind them. They come into this fixture sitting sixth in the la Liga standings, but a victory this week could see them end the round in the Champions League spots.
The Spanish giants have won three of their openings ix matches this term, and they have recovered well since losing back-to-back matches by going two without a defeat in the competition. However, they will be looking to get back to winning ways on Wednesday after being held to a draw by Almeria on Saturday. Valencia twice took the lead in that fixture, but they were pegged back for the second time with just over 20 minutes remaining.
Real Sociedad will be the visitors to the Mestalla on Wednesday, as they look to record a second straight win. Sociedad have won two of their opening six matches this term, with both wins coming in their last three fixtures in the competition. However, a win this week could lift Sociedad into the top five.
Sociedad comes into this fixture after playing out a thrilling 4-3 victory against Getafe on Sunday. Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice in that success, with his effort in the 88th minute proving crucial. The other efforts in the success in front of their home fans were netted by Takefusa Kubo and Brais Mendez.

Valencia vs Real Sociedad Prediction
This should be a high-quality showdown in La Liga between two sides that have been in fine recent form. However, it could be challenging to overlook the trend of draws in this fixture, as four of the last five have seen the points shared. A draw could be a successful betting option this week.
