Injuries and Suspensions
Valencia host Real Sociedad at Estadio Mestalla in a LaLiga fixture that carries very different weight for each side.
Valencia are in the grip of a genuine crisis. The club sacked head coach Carlos Corberan and CEO of Football Ron Gourlay following a dismal start to the season, and interim boss Oscar Sanchez now takes charge of a squad that has lost four straight league matches, conceding ten goals and scoring just one. The mood around Mestalla has been toxic, with protests outside the ground after a 5-0 defeat to Barcelona and club legend Santiago Canizares publicly calling on supporters to boycott matches to force a change in ownership.
The search for a permanent manager has already hit turbulence. Ernesto Valverde rejected the club's approach, preferring to extend his sabbatical. Attention has since turned to Javier Aguirre, the experienced Mexican coach, with talks accelerating and the veteran widely expected to be confirmed as Corberan's successor.
Real Sociedad arrive at Mestalla with problems of their own. Pellegrino Matarazzo's side lost 3-0 to Atletico Madrid in their most recent LaLiga outing and were beaten 2-1 at home by Bournemouth in the Europa League just days ago, extending a difficult run that has produced just two wins from their last five matches across all competitions.
With Valencia desperate for points at the foot of the table and Real Sociedad looking to arrest their own slide, there is genuine urgency on both sides of this fixture.

How to watch Valencia vs Real Sociedad with VPN
If you are travelling abroad or just want to access your usual streaming services from a different part of the world, you may run into geo-restrictions. This is where a Virtual Private Network (VPN) comes in handy.
A VPN, such as ExpressVPN, allows you to establish a secure, encrypted connection online. By virtually changing your location to a country where the game is being broadcast, you can bypass blackout restrictions and watch your favourite team live. A step-by-step guide is described later in this article, or you can also check out our guide to the best VPNs for streaming sports.
Form
Valencia's recent form makes for grim reading. Sanchez's side have lost four and drawn one of their last five matches, with their only point coming in a 0-0 draw with Celta Vigo. Their most recent outing was a 1-0 defeat at Sevilla, which followed a 5-0 thrashing at Barcelona. Across those five fixtures, Valencia scored just one goal and conceded ten.
Real Sociedad have managed two wins, one draw, and two defeats from their last five across all competitions. Their most recent result was a 2-1 home loss to Bournemouth in the Europa League, and they were beaten 3-0 by Atletico Madrid in LaLiga before that. A 2-3 away win at Elche stands as the brightest result in that run. Real Sociedad scored six goals and conceded seven across those five matches.
Head-to-Head Record
Head to Head
The head-to-head record between these clubs is tight, and the most recent meeting produced a thriller. Real Sociedad hosted Valencia in May 2026 and lost 3-4, a result that showed Valencia's capacity to score on the road even in a difficult season. Before that, the sides drew 1-1 at Mestalla in August 2025, and Valencia won 1-0 at home in January 2025. Looking across the last five meetings, Real Sociedad have won twice and Valencia twice, with one draw, making this a genuinely balanced series.
