Valencia vs Real Sociedad Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot

Last Season’s Performances

Valencia staged an impressive comeback in the second half of the 2024–25 season under Carlos Corberán, transforming from relegation candidates to mid-table contenders. Since his appointment in December, they have collected 11 points from 18, including wins over Real Sociedad, Celta, and Leganés, plus solid draws away at Sevilla and Villarreal. 
Real Sociedad’s season was more turbulent. Their busy campaign, deep in both the Europa League and Copa del Rey (exiting in both Round of 16), took its toll—leading to a disappointing 11th-place finish in La Liga.

 Preseason & Preparation

Valencia are embracing a new era with Ron Gourlay installed as CEO, signaling a fresh long-term project centered around Corberán’s vision. The club has already made six signings and secured two contract renewals, underlining renewed ambition. El País
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad’s preseason details are limited in publicly available sources. However, the focus remains on achieving consistency in league play after a taxing prior campaign on multiple fronts.
