Valencia are unbeaten in seven on home turf and will hope their '12th man' can help nullify a Real Sociedad team whose Brazilian striker has been in head-turning form.

Match Facts:

Valencia (12th, 40 pts):

- After stuttering in their first nine home league games of the season, in which they only won twice, Los Che are unbeaten in their last seven fixtures in front of their fans (W5 D2).

- Nevertheless, Valencia have not fared well against La Real at Mestalla recently, only prevailing in one of the sides' last five meetings there and losing the other four, after previously going 11 league matches without defeat at home to the San Sebastian outfit (W8 D3).

Real Sociedad (7th, 55 pts):

- The Basques have won eight of their 16 away games in LaLiga Santander so far this term, meaning they are one victory away from equalling the club-record tally of nine achieved in 1987/88 and 2002/03.

- Willian Jose is the division's head honcho at present, having scored seven headers, more than any other player. Even more impressively, these goals have come from just 11 headed attempts.
