With just three days to recover from their Europa League match, Real Sociedad hosts Rayo Vallecano at Anoeta, a Spanish team they haven't beaten in their last six encounters. Even so, the Basque side is favored in the pre-match odds to win.

Rayo Vallecano arrives in San Sebastián sitting 12th in the table, but with a game in hand, the Madrid-based team, despite scoring in all their away matches this year, hasn't won a single league game on the road and had to go to extra time in the Copa del Rey to defeat a lower-ranked opponent. The Vallecas-based team has recently managed to beat direct rivals but comes into this match without a victory against a team in the top nine.

Real Sociedad, meanwhile, lost the Basque derby against Athletic Club and in Europe had to settle for a frustrating draw against Lyon. They had taken the lead with a goal from Oskarsson, but Tolisso equalized for the Ligue 1 side in a match that saw seven yellow cards.

Our Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction

Rayo has a golden opportunity to pick up points in San Sebastián, as they have five more days of rest than their opponents. English striker Jorge de Frutos also seems to have found his form, scoring three goals since October 27th.

Meanwhile, Real Sociedad has now gone two matches without a win for the third time this season. Their preferred striker, World Cup winner Mikel Oyarzabal, while not having played poorly, has been somewhat out of sorts in front of goal.

Our prediction for Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano is: Rayo Vallecano to win or draw.
