Rayo Vallecano - Real Sociedad predictions

Rayo Vallecano may come out on top this Sunday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Real Sociedad. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.54 for the hosts to win.

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Rayo Vallecano on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

Rayo Vallecano’s latest performance against Real Madrid ended in a narrow 2:1 defeat for them. Top betting predictions overwhelmingly agreed that the match wouldn’t go their way, considering the very difficult matchup and home-field disadvantage. They were already trailing behind at half-time, which lead to a 2:1 away loss.

Real Sociedad had the advantage of playing at home in the previous round, but it was immediately clear that they were in for a tough time. The first half ended inconclusively and the tie lasted until they conceded a key goal in the late game, which resulted in a 0:1 defeat.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

We’re at round 28 already, and Rayo Vallecano managed to win a grand total of 36 points so far. This puts them 5 points below a Europa League qualification, so winning a challenging matchup such as this one will be a great boon.

In the previous season of the La Liga, these two teams ended up with a tied match. Another draw would work much better for La Real than Rayo Vallecano – after all, they’re the underdogs in this matchup.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1 but is well worth the price.
