Real Sociedad coach Eusebio is of the belief that his side have recaptured their best form recently, with the evidence of their results definitely supporting his claims.
At home, they have been much improved, but on their travels the Basque club have struggled. Three consecutive defeats on the road precede this clash, although their last away performance against Barcelona was impressive.
Willian Jose has scored in two out of his last three games, with the former Las Palmas striker looking to be recapturing his form too.
Valencia, meanwhile, have been faltering in their last two games. Voro’s men appeared to have turned a corner in LaLiga, notching up several consecutive wins, but no goals scored in games against Sevilla and Malaga is a worry.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last seven matches at Mestalla, drawing two and winning the rest. Valencia have been very good at home of late, but Real Sociedad will be a tough test.
Willian Jose has been looking in good shape, with Valencia missing Eliaquim Mangala to suspension and potentially Ezequiel Garay due to injury, so the Brazilians looks a danger.
