Valencia, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Huesca on Saturday at the Mestalla. Danish utility player Daniel Wass scored for Valencia, only for Greek centre-back Dimitris Siovas to equalise in the second-half for Huesca to share the spoils.

Real Sociedad vs Valencia Prediction
Real Sociedad may have lost Martin Odegaard, who has returned to Real Madrid after an excellent season last time, but have brought in the highly-experienced David Silva to make up for that loss. In Adnan Januzaj, Mikel Oyarzabal and Alexander Isak, they possess a talented forward line that can be dangerous on any given day.
Valencia, on the other hand, let go of key players in the summer, including captain Dani Parejo, Francis Coquelin and Ferran Torres. However, the likes of Maxi Gomez and Goncalo Guedes are highly talented, while Uros Racic has earned admiring glances from Manchester United.
Real Sociedad seem to be more settled and have a good squad. They should be able to edge past Valencia.
Prediction: Real Sociedad 2-1 Valencia
