Real Sociedad are back to domestic action after a midweek outing in the Europa League. Sixth in the league standings, Sociedad will host 12th placed Rayo Vallecano, looking to bounce back from a two-game winless run. With a decent recent home run, our prediction backs a Sociedad victory.
Real Sociedad showed their top-four potential with four straight wins in La Liga before falling to Athletic Bilbao. They lost 2-1 in their latest league outing and slipped further in Europe as they drew 1-1 with Lyon on Thursday.
With a two-match winless stretch, Sociedad will only be focused on a return to winning ways here. This will be their sixth league outing at home, and the hosts will look to improve on their run of three wins in five.
Rayo will also have their reasons to stay positive about this encounter. They are unbeaten in their last three visits to Real Sociedad and won the latest two.
It is their build-up to this encounter that might let them down. Rayo Vallecano beat Celta Vigo 3-0 in their last outing to mark the end of an unconvincing run of four winless outings.
In that period they needed extra time to see off lower-tier side Recreativo Huelva 3-2 in the Copa del Rey. That came off the back of a loss to Elche and identical 1-1 draws against Getafe and Osasuna.
Rayo are winless on the road in La Liga, losing three of five outings.
