Spain - LaLiga

by Bradley Gibbs in LaLiga Picks
The top division of Spanish soccer is back, and after two LaLiga games get us going on Friday night, we've got three fixtures to get stuck into on Saturday, the last of which sees Valencia and Real Sociedad battle it out at the iconic venue of Mestalla. After a fairly disappointing campaign last time around, one that started very slowly, the Bats will be looking to do better this time around, especially early on. For the visitors, the 2024/25 campaign wasn't a great one either, with the men from the Basque Country losing their form as the season wore on, eventually finishing in a rather disappointing 11th, just one place ahead of Valencia. As far as these two are concerned, it's a case of improvements needed all round.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Our Valencia vs Real Sociedad Prediction
I'll get right to it here and say that Cesar Tarrega looks quite generously priced to make two fouls on the opening day of the LaLiga campaign. The no-nonsense central defender made more fouls than any other Valencia player last season, losing a fair number of his tackles, also making quite a few unneeded fouls. Fouling is part of Tarrega's game, there's no denying that, and given his last-season average of 1.69 fouls per 90 minutes, odds of +265 look a little too chunky to ignore. Our Valencia vs Real Sociedad Pick: Cesar Tarrega 2+ Fouls.
