Team News

Real Sociedad
Valencia
  • Real Sociedad will be missing Arsen Zakharyan and Hamari Traoré, although it appears that Umar Sadiq will recover in time.
  • Imanol Alguacil will also be monitoring Barrenetxea, who sustainedan injury in the last match against Nice..
  • Valencia has confirmed the absences of Jaume Doménech, Mouctar Diakhaby, and José Gayà. Additionally, Rafa Mir will not be able to make a comeback in this match after being diagnosed with a fracture that will sideline him for several more weeks.
  • Valencia's starting eleven is not expected to undergo major changes, but there could be tactical adjustments to counter the opposition. This may include the possible inclusion of Foulquier as one of the full-backs, Guillamón in midfield, or Javi Guerra in the attacking midfield position. Up front, Duro couldmake his return.

Prediction

  • Both teams are coming into this encounter after playing three games in the previous 13 days and for Valencia it's been with nearly the same starting eleven. Due to this congested schedule, Rubén Baraja is considering introducing rotations, potentially even resting key players like Luis Rioja. In this context, the return of Hugo Duro to the starting lineup, now fully recovered from his injury, seems to be a viable option.
  • Both teams had a slow start to the season with both having 5 points from a possible 21 and both conceding more than they can score. La Real took a vital away point at Nice after playing in a different setup than their usual 433 as Imanol search for answers to solve the balance between attack and defense.
