Summary
Valencia and Real Sociedad meet at Mestalla tonight seeking results to head into the international break with momentum. The hosts have stabilised after a poor run but remain goalless at home in three league matches—a first in the club's history. Real Sociedad, meanwhile, are reeling from consecutive defeats and internal debate over their goalkeeper situation, with Pellegrino Matarazzo rotating between Remiro and Marrero.
Óscar Sánchez takes charge for what is likely his final game before Aguirre's appointment is formally announced. Luis Rioja is fit to return for Valencia, while Real Sociedad expect to recall Aramburu from suspension.
