Winners of the King's Cup in the 2019-2020 season, Real Sociedad are aiming to lift the trophy for the 3rd time in their history, after 1987 and 2020. There's still a long way to go, but the Basque club could reach the quarter-finals if they get past Rayo Vallecano. In this year's Copa del Rey, the club's victories came away from home to Jove Espanol (0-5), Conquense (0-1) and Ponferradina (0-2) on January 5th. Imanol Alguacil's side got 2025 off to a flying start with qualification for the Copa del Rey and a 1-0 win over Villarreal at the Reale Arena on Monday, thanks to Japanese striker Kubo's 4th La Liga goal.

After 3 straight draws at the end of 2024 against Real Madrid (3-3), Villarreal (1-1) and Betis Sevilla (1-1), Rayo Vallecano, like their opponents of the day, began 2025 with 2 King's Cup wins at Racing Club Ferrol (1-3) and Celta Vigo (2-1) in the Spanish league. Unbeaten in 7 matches, Rayo Vallecano have everything to fear from this trip to the Basque Country. They have a satisfactory record in the Copa del Rey, with 3 away wins over CD Villamuriel (0-5), Unionistas (2-3) and Ferrol (1-3). In the second round, Vallecano, trailing 2-0 to Unionistas, had a scare and pulled off a remontada, winning thanks to Embarba's late winner (84th).

Our Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction

Real Sociedad have shown themselves to be very solid at the Reale Arena in recent weeks. The Basque club have now gone 6 games without conceding a goal at the stadium, including impressive performances against FC Barcelona (1-0), Ajax Amsterdam (2-0) in the Europa League, Betis Sevilla (2-0), Dynamo Kiev (3-0) in the C3 and Villarreal (1-0). Having beaten Rayo Vallecano at home in April 2023 (2-1), Real Sociedad will be hoping to beat the Madrid club again...a victory synonymous with qualification for the quarter-finals of the King's Cup.
