Valencia vs Real Sociedad Match Preview
Los Che have every reason to prepare for Saturday’s 9:00pm GMT (4:00pm EST) kick-off against Real Sociedad with total concentration despite their opponents’ small size on paper.

Los Che aim to keep pace with Barcelona.
Real Sociedad are fiercely battling against the prospect of falling into the relegation zone. As things stand, they occupy the 16th spot in La Liga.
However, things are very tight in the bottom half of La Liga’s table. Only three points separate the 11th position from the 17th place. Primera Division survival is not guaranteed for Sociedad so Valencia must prepare to face a stubborn side this weekend.
Although it could be hard to believe, the truth is that Real Sociedad haven’t lost in La Liga since November 6 when Rayo Vallecano destroyed them 4-0 in front of 12,500 spectators. The team’s 6-match unbeaten run includes goalless draws against Espanyol, Racing Santander and Osasuna as well as 3-2 wins over Real Betis and Malaga.
What Valencia should not forget is that Sociedad played out a 2-2 draw against the mighty Catalans of Barcelona earlier in the campaign.
Los Che’s mood is rather high than down following their dramatic comeback against Villarreal. Will their momentum spur them on to victory against Real Sociedad at the Mestalla stadium?
Valencia could temporarily close the gap against second-placed Barcelona to a single point. They missed the chance to apply maximum pressure on the Blaugrana last weekend. Can they take their chances this time round?
