Real Valladolid are in 18th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and will have to work hard to avoid relegation this season. The away side slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Villarreal earlier this week and will want to bounce back in this match.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, currently find themselves in fifth place in the league table and have been impressive this season. The Basque giants gave Atletico Madrid a run for their money in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Real Sociedad vs Real Valladolid Prediction
Real Sociedad have to make do without some of their star players in this game and will be wary of an upset. The likes of Mikel Oyarzabal and Alexander Isak have had a massive impact on La Real's fortunes this season and are their team's best players at the moment.
Real Valladolid have endured a difficult La Liga campaign so far and will likely need to win most of their remaining games this season. Real Sociedad are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to take all three points away from this fixture.
Prediction: Real Sociedad 3-1 Real Valladolid
