Valencia host Real Sociedad at the Mestalla. Both teams opened with disappointing results in GW1 — Valencia drew 0-0 and Sociedad lost 0-1. Sociedad have the better corners average (5.4 vs 4.8) and Oyarzabal (16 goals) is the individual standout. Sociedad corners, Oyarzabal SoT, and Pepelu card risk are the main angles.

CornersLow-medium risk

Real Sociedad most corners — Oyarzabal and Kubo delivery

Sociedad average 5.4 corners per game — above Valencia's 4.8. Oyarzabal's dead-ball quality and Kubo's wide running generate consistent corner volume even at the noisy Mestalla.

Shots on targetLow-medium risk

Mikel Oyarzabal 2+ shots on target

Oyarzabal had 16 goals and 52 SoT in 2025/26 — Sociedad's most dangerous and technical attacker. Against Valencia (62 conceded), his movement in behind makes 2+ SoT a well-backed line.

Yellow cardMedium risk

Pepelu to be booked

Pepelu collected 5 yellow cards in 2025/26 as Valencia's combative box-to-box midfielder. Facing Sociedad's technical and mobile midfield at the Mestalla, his physical style carries booking risk.
