Valladolid vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting Tips (21 September)

If Real Sociedad is expected to be in the first half of the table in the race for Europe, the same cannot be said for Valladolid which will only play to maintain its position this season in order to avoid making the move. With four points collected in five games, La Pucela remains mainly on two consecutive defeats against FC Barcelona before the break 7-0 and after the break, on the pitch of Celta Vigo 3-1. Worse still, since J1 where the promoted side took the scalp of Espanyol Barcelona 1-0, he has not won for a record of three defeats and a draw. In the standings, Valladolid occupies 17th place in LaLiga. The situation becomes critical for Real Sociedad who certainly deserved to beat Real Madrid by hitting the posts three times but in the end, it was a defeat at home 0-2.

There was no reaction on Tuesday evening in Mallorca in a late match with once again a defeat via a 1-0 penalty. Only four points collected for a Basque team which aspires to play the European battle in the championship, it is very insufficient. In the ranking, the residents of the Reale Arena are only 16th. 

Loaned by Real Madrid for the season, midfielder Mario Martin will be suspended for this game (exclusion last weekend against Vigo). If Kenedy has returned to competition, this is not the case for Anuar (hernia). Javi Sanchez joined him in the infirmary very recently. Within this team, we note the presence of Selim Amallah who played in Valencia on loan last season, Cömert (experienced in La Liga), Darwin Machis (4 goals with Cadiz in D1 last year) without forgetting the Brazilian Marcos André or even Latasa (rookie, Real Madrid). On the side of Real Sociedad, the departures of Le Normand and Mikel Merino have done much more harm than expected and they will have to quickly find the solution to get back to winning .

For the trip to Mallorca, Brais Mendez (seriously injured), Hamari Traoré (ex-Rennes), Zakharyan and Javi Lopez were not in the mix and this should be the case again today. Highly visible against Real Madrid seven days ago, Sucic stood out again against Mallorca but without being decisive. Oyarzabal (captain) and Barrenetxea have still not unlocked their personal counters unlike Kubo, scorer once in the league, which obviously remains too little.
