Match preview

Valencia host Real Sociedad in the La Liga on 16 August 2025. Valencia sit 10th on 43 points and Real Sociedad are 18th on 39. In their last 2 meetings, Valencia won 1, Real Sociedad won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
