Overview
Real Sociedad are having a very disappointing season, especially when looking at the quality of their squad. After 28 rounds, the Basque team has only had 10 wins, 5 draws and 13 losses, earning 35 points and ranking 12th on the rankings.
At the moment, they are only 2 points ahead of 14th-placed Osasuna, but also 4 points behind 8th-placed Celta Vigo. Therefore, things can still change quickly depending on Sociedad's form.
The current gap between Real Sociedad and Real Betis in 6th place is 9 points, making the possibility of qualifying for the European Cup next season fragile. If they do not improve their form soon, they will be at risk of finishing the season outside the top 10 of La Liga for the first time since 2018.
Meanwhile, Valladolid also had a difficult season with only 16 points after 28 matches. They are in a good position and 11 points behind in the context of only 10 rounds left.
Overall, only a miracle can help Valladolid stay in the league this season. However, they will still fight when the opportunity still exists in theory.
Before the FIFA Days in March, Valladolid lost 0-1 at home to Celta Vigo. The attack is a big disappointment for them with only 18 goals in 28 matches. They are one of the worst attack teams in the league this season.
In terms of head-to-head record, Valladolid has dominated Sociedad recently. They have only lost once in the last 5 matches between the two teams. Valladolid won 1-0 in his most recent visit to Anoeta.
Personnel situation
Real Sociedad could be without Jon Pacecho and Luka Sucic due to injury, while Ander Barrenetxea is suspended. Striker Takefusa Kubo could sit on the bench after returning from the national team.
On the other side of the front line, Valladolid has the return of Latasa but Joseph Aidoo and Andre Ferreira will be sidelined due to injury.
Expected lineup:
Real Sociedad: Remiro, Zubeldia, Elustondo, Lopez, Aramburu, Zubimendi, Marin, Olasagasti, Gomez, Oskarsson, Oryazabal.
Valladolid: Hein, Perez, Comert, J. Sanchez, Aznou, Nikitscher, Grillitsch, I. Sanchez, Moro, Andre, Latasa.
