Football Park’s advanced predictive model gives Valencia a 46.70% chance of victory, outpacing Real Sociedad’s 26.70% win probability.

Our top two high-probability betting selections for this match are:
Valencia to Win – 46.70% Probability
Half-Time Home Win – 46.70% Probability
The predicted correct score is 2-0, with a low likelihood of both teams finding the net (only 40.00%).
Valencia have won three of their last four home matches against Real Sociedad without conceding, and their statistical edge in expected goals suggests they can control this fixture.
With the home side projected to start quickly and Sociedad historically struggling away at Mestalla, this market carries solid value.
Expect a compact, patient Valencia side looking to exploit counter-attacking opportunities. Real Sociedad’s attacking metrics are modest, and their away record against Valencia suggests a defensive first approach. The match could open up in the second half if the hosts score first.
Valencia have kept four clean sheets in their last five home matches against Sociedad.
Only one of the last six league meetings at Mestalla has seen both teams score.
Real Sociedad have scored just two goals in their last five trips to Valencia.
This fixture points strongly towards a Valencia home win in a controlled, low-scoring match. Real Sociedad’s away scoring record at Mestalla is poor, and Valencia’s defensive solidity should be enough to secure three points.
Valencia to Win @ 2.60
Half-Time Home Win (Estimated @ 2.70)
