Team News

Real Sociedad
Valencia
  • Martin Zubimendi's season is over now as he suffered a muscle injury. There are still rumours heavily linking him with some of Europe's top clubs.
  • Benat Turrientes could step in to fill the hole in midfield - he has started 16 games this season.
  • Artiz Elustondo started over Jon Pacheco against Barca and could start again.
  • No new injuries for Valencia, they will likely make little changes in their hope for Conference League football.
  • Peter Gonzalez has started a string of games in a row recently, and could be a big part of Ruben Baraja's plans next season.

Prediction

  • La Real welcome Valencia to San Sebastian on Thursday night in aims of catching Betis in the last available Europa League spot with a victory. Valencia have slipped in their form recently, losing three in their last five - the reverse fixture ended 1-0 to Sociedad on the south coast.
  • Valencia haven't scored in their last two matches, whilst Sociedad have only averaged one goal conceded per game in their last five. The visitors can still catch La Real in seventh, but results would have to swing their way massively in the last three match days of the season.
  • Sociedad are the favourites here - Valencia haven't won a game on the road since Granada in early April.
