Sociedad Set to Take Points from Valencia

Valencia have managed zero goals per game at home so far this season and failed to score in two thirds of their matches overall. Their form of five defeats in six outings has left them short on confidence and attacking threat. Real Sociedad have collected points more regularly on their travels and average over a goal per away game. Past meetings between the sides feature four draws in the last ten encounters with few high scoring affairs. Valencia concede steadily at home while struggling to break down organized defenses. Sociedad’s recent results include wins and draws that suggest they can stay competitive away from home. These patterns together point to a result that avoids a home victory.
