Real Valladolid vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Pucelanos began their campaign with a 1-0 home win but have scored just one goal in their last four league outings. Interestingly, they have enjoyed an unbeaten run at home in competitive games in 2024 and have kept clean sheets in their two home games in La Liga this term.
Mario Martín will serve a suspension in this match while Paulo Pezzolano remains without the services of Javi Sánchez, Kike Pérez, and César de la Hoz due to injuries.
Txuri-Urdin have seen a drop in form recently, suffering three losses in their last four games while failing to score in their last three. Interestingly, they have kept two clean sheets in their three La Liga away games this term.
Javi López has trained separately from the group while Brais Méndez is also expected to sit this one out. Hamari Traore remains a long-term absentee after an ACL injury earlier this month.
Considering the current form of the two teams and recent history, they are expected to settle for a draw.
