Just after securing a spot in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, Valencia will resume their La Liga campaign as they welcome Real Sociedad at Estadio de Mestalla. Match day is scheduled for 6th February 2022 at 16:00 EAT.
Valencia are going through a struggling stretch of four games winless run in the league that has seen them drop to the 10 place with 29 points after 23 matches so far. Valencia has picked up four points from the last five games both home and away in which both teams scored in all the matches and Valencia scored a total of nine goals.
Despite the winless run in the league the hosts comes into this game following 2-1 Copa del Rey victory versus Cádiz in their last fixture. In that game, Valencia had 46% possession, seven shots with two of them on target and goals scored by Gonçalo Guedes (24′) and Hugo Duro (79′). Cádiz on the other hand got nine shots with only one of them on target and a goal by Lucas Pérez (54′).
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad seems to be back in form, after they went on a series of disappointing performances a while back and they are currently in the sixth position with 34 points after 21 matches in the league table. Coming into this game, they have picked up five points from the last five games both home and away where both teams scored in just two of those games and Sociedad scored three times in that period.
Los Txuri-Urdin will be hoping to better their results here coming off 0-4 Copa del Rey humiliation at the hands of Real Betis in their previous game. In that game, Real Sociedad managed 56% possession and 10 shots with two of them on target. Real Betis got 11 shots with eight of them on target and goals by Juanmi (12′, 57′), Willian José (83′) and Aitor Ruibal (87′).
