Real Sociedad vs. Valencia

Valencia has split its first three games (1-1-1) to start the new league campaign.

They are a bad road team, on a winless 0-10-3 run away from home getting outscored 25-6. They head to Real Sociedad, a team off to a good start in third place, one season after a sixth-place finish in the 20-team Spanish La Liga. Real Sociedad is on a five-game unbeaten run (2-0-3) allowing three goals as well as a four-game unbeaten run at home. Real Sociedad is also unbeaten in the last three meetings with Valencia, including a 3-0 rout in the last encounter. Take Real Sociedad on the moneyline.
