Thanks for the submission!
So who will claim the spoils in this match?
Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Real Sociedad’s recent record against Rayo Vallecano isn’t the best. They’ve won just one of their last six matches against them, and that match, in January 2025, was in the Copa del Rey rather than in La Liga.
- Real Sociedad’s last domestic result was a frustrating one. They were beaten by Athletic Club in a tough game, ending a run of four straight wins. The loss was only their fourth of the campaign, and they did bounce back somewhat on Thursday by drawing with Lyon in the Europa League.
- Rayo Vallecano picked up a more positive result last weekend. They snapped a three-game winless run by beating Celta Vigo 3-0, registering their biggest win of the season in the process.
- Rayo Vallecano’s away record has been extremely poor this season. They haven’t won on the road yet, and have been beaten in three of their away matches. Overall, they have collected just two points from a possible 15 away.
- Real Sociedad have been in excellent home form this season. They’ve only lost once in front of their home fans in La Liga, to Atletico Madrid on September 13th. Outside of that, they’ve won three of their five home matches, most recently beating Levante.
Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction
While these teams saw very different fortunes last weekend, it feels likely that Real Sociedad will get back to their winning ways here.
Not only is their home form excellent, but Rayo Vallecano’s away form has been poor throughout the campaign. To add to this, Rayo’s defensive record has been patchy this season, as they have already conceded 20 goals.
Overall, then, the prediction here is a home win.
Prediction: Real Sociedad 2-1 Rayo Vallecano
