Real Sociedad will welcome Valencia to Anoeta for a one-on-one clash in La Liga, with kick-off at 20:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Real Sociedad Are Still in for a Top-Six Finish Ahead of Their Home Clash Against Valencia
Real Sociedad could not stop Barcelona away from home on Monday night, falling to a 2-0 defeat. This was Sociedad’s second defeat in three matches, and their bid for a top six has received a blow in recent matches.
However, ahead of their home clash against Valencia, Sociedad are within a point of sixth-placed Real Betis. A win against Valencia will hand them a brilliant chance to put pressure on Betis while putting some distance to Valencia on the table, who are six points behind them with three matches remaining in La Liga.
In their last five outings, Real Sociedad have won once, drawn twice, and lost twice. They have picked up five points out of the available 15. They will look to improve on this showing when they play Valencia on Thursday.
Valencia Will Look to Bounce Back From a Four-Match Winless Run in La Liga
Valencia are winless in their last four outings in La Liga, including three consecutive defeats and a draw last time out.
The three consecutive defeats came against Real Betis at home (1-2), away to Barcelona (4-2), and at home to Alaves (0-1). Last time out, Valencia held Rayo Vallecano to a 0-0 draw and ended their losing streak.
In their trip to Real Sociedad, they will look to end their winless run in La Liga. A win will see them reduce the gap between them and Real Sociedad on the table to three points with two matches to go.
