Real Sociedad are back in action with another important La Liga fixture this weekend as they take on Valencia on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Valencia are in 10th place in the La Liga standings and have improved after a poor start to their campaign. Los Che held Atletico Madrid to a 3-3 draw in their previous game and will want to take it up a notch this weekend.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been exceptional this season. The league leaders eased past Osasuna by a 2-0 margin earlier this month and will want a similar result in this fixture.
