Consistent top-six finishers Real Sociedad look to improve their home form as they start the La Liga 2024–25 campaign against Rayo Vallecano. This match will be played at the Reale Arena in San Sebastian, with our prediction of a dull encounter with only a few goals on offer.
Sociedad ended last season in sixth place with 60 points, thereby making it a fourth consecutive La Liga campaign where they finished in the top-six spots. Nevertheless, all eyes were on the outgoings in the summer, with star midfielder Martin Zubimendi flirting with the idea of joining Liverpool, only to stay back at the last minute.
The hosts need to improve their results at this venue, having failed to win 11 of their last 19 league matches here. Vallecano may not be confident enough to take advantage of that poor record, considering their own struggles. The visitors finished just above the bottom-three last season, avoiding the drop by five points. Even in the pre-season ahead of this campaign, they lost four of their last five friendlies.
It's their away form that was a worry for Vallecano, having lost nine and drawn six of their 19 away matches last season. That included losing six and drawing two of their last eight league trips, so there remain doubts over their ability to start this season with a win here.
