A difficult match is ahead of Sociedad. They have a big fish to fry but we’ve seen them do it in the past and it’s certain they can do it again.

Rayo Vallecano are coming off from a surprising away victory in the La Liga.

One goal made all the difference in the second half as Rayo Vallecano reached an important Real Valladolid victory.

La Real are coming off from a decisive home victory against Athletic Bilbao. At odds of 2.55 on a home win, few expected such a result – though La Real already established dominance in the first half.

European football is a goal Rayo Vallecano are still chasing but after 18 rounds played, the situation is becoming complicated. Rayo Vallecano are out of the Europa League fight at the moment and a defeat against Real Sociedad could even throw them out of contention.
