In La Liga, Valencia is currently 10th in the table and has been plagued by inconsistencies this season. Los Che, who suffered a humiliating 1-0 defeat to Barcelona in their last game, will need to bounce back this weekend.
On the other hand, Real Sociedad is currently fifth in the league table and has done quite well this season. La Real proved their point in a 2-0 win over Real Betis last week.
Valencia has shown signs of improvement under Gattuso but remains inconsistent in La Liga. Los Che has good players and needs to stop its recent downturn.
Real Sociedad has been battling an injury crisis this season and will need to dig deeper to keep their top-four hopes alive. The two teams are currently on equal footing and could be tied for a tie this weekend.
