Valencia vs Real Sociedad Prediction – 16/08/2025

We say Valencia vs Real Sociedad will end in a 1-1 draw

Valencia won against Sociedad in three of their past ten encounters, drawing four, with three defeats recorded. Given that neither team have dominated these fixtures lately, it will be tough to predict the winner as it appears to be anybody’s game. However, our final prediction for the Valencia vs Real Sociedad game will be a draw.

Prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Judging from their past ten H2H meetings and recent performance in the pre-season, the upcoming match is expected to end with under 2.5 goals. Given that four of their last five encounters ended with just one goal each, we are convinced both teams will likely replicate a similar result this weekend at Estadio Mestalla.

Match Preview: Valencia vs Real Sociedad

Valencia will host Txuri-Urdin in their La Liga opening game after a shocking 3-0 victory against 10-man Torino in their last pre-season game. Despite their average performance last season, Los Che are expected to capitalize on their home edge in this fixture, like they did in their previous H2H, which ended with a 1-0 victory.

Real Sociedad had an impressive run in the 2024/25 campaign, but eventually they dropped form after losing to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey Semi-final. Given that Sociedad were held to a draw in their last two games, we think their upcoming clash against Carlos Corberan’s men will be tough.
