Prediction: Real Sociedad 2-0 Valencia
The hosts are on a good run and we expect them to continue it with a comfortable home win in this one.
Valencia has won just 1 of their last 5 matches showing no form, tempo or consistency in their play.
It is very difficult for them to get much from a quality Sociedad side, which keep their dream alive through good performances.
Players to watch out for: Isak, Silva, Guedes and Duro.
