Real Sociedad vs Valencia Betting Tips - Under 2.5 Goals
A tight contest seems likely when two sides short in winning form square-off in San Sebastian this weekend.
Real Sociedad return to La Liga action after a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Nice in their Europa League contest earlier this week. The Basque side have now failed to win any of their last six matches across all competitions.
A lack of attacking firepower remains a major issue for Real Sociedad. Imanol Alguacil′s side have scored just four goals in eight games played this season.
At the Reale Arena, Real Sociedad have endured a miserable run of form which has seen them lose each of their last four La Liga matches, including three games played this season. Seven games into their league campaign, the hosts sit 16th in the division, with just five points collected.
Valencia come into Saturday's fixture in similarly poor form, with just five points picked up from their first seven league matches.
Rubén Baraja′s men have a poor recent away record, losing five and picking up just one draw from their last six road fixtures since the end of last season. Like the hosts, goals have been an issue with Valencia scoring just five in their seven league fixtures.
Considering both teams lack of goals, this match seems likely to see fewer than three scored. I'm putting my money on under 2.5 goals, with a low-score draw the likeliest outcome at Reale Arena.
