Real Sociedad - Rayo Vallecano predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.72, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Real Sociedad and the 6.10 odds given to Rayo Vallecano to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

La Real will be flying high following their last round’s victory. Playing away from home as the $ODDS_LAST_ROUND_AWAY underdogs, the hosts rose to the occasion. The braves of punters who took them up on such tempting betting odds will be raving about the narrow Celta de Vigo win for sure.

It’s fair to say Rayo Vallecano fans were shocked to see their team lose the previous La Liga game. At 1.96 betting odds to win, they were expected to enjoy a walk in the park against Rayo Vallecano-LAST_ROUND_AWAY. Instead, Rayo Vallecano suffered a devastating 0:2 blow.

Team from San Sebastian have been a constant source of frustration for their opponents in previous away games. They haven’t conceded a single goal as visitors for three games in a row.

A successful Over 2.5 Goals bet seems very unlikely, based on Rayo Vallecano’s previous performance. None of their 5 most recent La Liga matches featured more than 2 goals.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. Real Sociedad played against Rayo Vallecano on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Aihen Muñoz, Barrenetxea, Carlos Fernández, Martín Zubimendi, Takefusa Kubo, Martín Merquelanz, Odriozola will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.72. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
