Rayo Vallecano have a date at home against Copa del Rey winners Real Sociedad next in La Liga. The two are gunning for top-six finishes, Rayo sitting 11th and Sociedad eighth. Read on for our preview and prediction of the match.
Rayo are in a state where they are both trying to stave off relegation and rise to European football slots. They are also looking to reach the Conference League final.
On all three battlefronts, Los Franjirrojos are doing well. They are coming off a 1-0 win against Espanyol in La Liga action, returning to winning ways after two straight defeats.
That left them six points behind the top six and five above the drop zone.
Real Sociedad have failed to win their latest two meetings with Rayo Vallecano. In the reverse meeting, they lost 1-0 at home. Ahead of this clash, it feels like Sociedad have achieved their target for the season.
They recently won the Copa Del Rey, and with it, secured a place in Europe next season. Placed 15 points below fourth, it is unlikely that Sociedad can challenge for Champions League football.
A drop in La Liga effort was seen immediately after their Copa win as they lost 1-0 to Getafe. That marked their 12th loss in the league this season.
With only three away wins in La Liga this season, not much is expected of them here.
