Valencia play host to Real Sociedad with only a win on their mind.
The Los Che are without a win in their last 2 games, but were on a 3 games winning streak before those matches.
They are currently 12th with 40 points – a huge 15 points separates them from 6th position, so no hope of playing Europe next season – they are now focused on winning their remaining games and avoiding falling down the table.
Valencia are impressive at home, they have not lost any of their last 7 games, and they won 5 of those, although their last home game ended in a draw.
Real Sociedad’s recent form has been indifferent, but they are sitting in 6th position which is the last European spot in the league.
However, they are only 2 points above 7th placed Athletic Bilbao and have played a game more than them.
They need to win this and subsequent games and hope that results of Bilbao’s remaining games favour them.
They have won 2 of their last 3 games, but have lost all 3 of their recent away games.
If they lose this game, they might lose momentum in their quest to play in Europe next season.
