Latest Real Sociedad vs Real Valladolid team information

Real Sociedad will be without the services of Ander Barrenetxea through suspension, while Brais Mendez, Sheraldo Becker, Arsen Zakharyan, Luka Sucic and Jon Pacheco are all absent through injury.

Mikel Oyarzabal comes into this game in high spirits after scoring twice for Spain against the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League. He is expected to return to the starting line-up, having been on the bench for the draw with Rayo Vallecano before the international break.

There is still much speculation surrounding Martin Zubimendi's future, and this season could be his last at Real Sociedad. If he does play, it will be his 39th appearance of the season.

As for Real Valladolid, striker Juanmi Latasa will return to the squad after being suspended in the previous match against Celta Vigo.

Meanwhile, Andre Ferreira and Joseph Aidoo are still not ready to return due to fitness issues.

Although the match against Celta ended in defeat, Valladolid also left many positive highlights. Therefore, coach Alvaro Rubio can completely keep the starting lineup for the upcoming match, including the participation of Raul Moro - who has 4 goals and 3 assists after 24 appearances this season.

Latest football commentary Real Sociedad vs Real Valladolid

Real Sociedad are having a disappointing season, considering the quality of the squad they have. After 28 games, the Basque side have only managed 10 wins, 5 draws and 13 defeats, earning 35 points and ranking 12th in the table.

In fact, they are just two points ahead of 14th-placed Osasuna, but only four points behind Celta Vigo, who are in eighth, so things could change quickly in the coming weeks with plenty of points to play for.

However, the gap between Real Sociedad and sixth-placed Real Betis is now nine points, making their chances of qualifying for next season's European Cup very slim. They are even at risk of finishing outside the top 10 in La Liga for the first time since 2018.

Imanol Alguacil's side are winless in their last six games in all competitions, including their last three in La Liga, but they went into the international break with a slight boost from a 2-2 draw at Rayo Vallecano.

At home this season, Real Sociedad has not been outstanding, having only won 20 points after 14 matches – a record ranked 13th in the league. However, the upcoming opponent, Real Valladolid, is having extremely poor away form, having only won 3 points after 14 away matches this season.

Real Valladolid have had a very difficult season with only 16 points after 28 matches - currently at the bottom of the table and 11 points behind the safe 17th position with only 10 rounds left.

Only a miracle can keep the purple and white team in the league this season, but they will still fight as long as the chance still exists in theory.

Before the March break, Valladolid lost 1-0 at home to Celta Vigo. Their attack has been a major disappointment, with just 18 goals in 28 games – one of the worst scoring records in the league.

Not only that, their defense is also the worst in La Liga this season with 63 goals conceded - showing why Valladolid is sinking deep into crisis.

However, they have a rather surprising head-to-head record against Real Sociedad, winning two of their last three La Liga encounters, including a 1-0 win in the first leg of the 2022-23 season. The first leg this season between the two teams ended in a 0-0 draw.
