Real Sociedad – Valencia | 29/09/2020

Real Sociedad will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in La Liga when they welcome Valencia to San Sebastian on Tuesday night. The Basque club have picked up five points from their first three league matches of the season to sit third in the table, while Valencia have managed four points from their first three outings in 2020-21

Thanks to an unbeaten three-game La Liga (LL) start for Real Sociedad, last season’s sixth-place finishers have continued their good form and are now six LL games unbeaten overall (W2, D4). They scored an average of 1.17 goals per fixture across those six matches, but failed to net before HT in all.

Yet strangely, Sociedad have won just one of their last seven LL home games (D3, L3), and saw each defeat and win during this period finish via a one-goal margin. Furthermore, barring Sociedad’s 3-0 win in the last H2H held here, their previous three home H2Hs have all ended by a one-goal margin too (W1, L2).

Accruing a win, loss and draw in their opening three LL matches, Valencia have had a less than favourable 2020 in league action (W8, D5, L10). Nonetheless, they were first goalscorers last time out for the first time this season, although both teams have scored in their three opening games so far, as has been the case in five of the last eight LL H2Hs (W3, D2, L3).

Seeking a first LL away win this calendar year (D2, L9), Valencia have bagged the first goal just once across this spread of matches whilst failing to score in seven of those awaydays. Additionally, Valencia trailed at HT in six of those 11 LL away games, which includes their last trip to Sociedad.
