On Saturday afternoon, Rayo Vallecano hosts Real Sociedad in La Liga as the visitors look to continue their recent good form in the Spanish top flight.
The home side is enjoying a potentially promising season in the Spanish top flight, as they are currently in ninth place in La Liga and just two points adrift of the league’s European spots.

Despite their relatively high position in La Liga’s standings, Rayo’s recent form has been inconsistent, as a 1-0 win at Real Valladolid ended a run of four games without a victory in all competitions. The victory also ended a three-game winless run in La Liga. However, on the flip side, Rayo have also lost just one of their last nine league matches.
Rayo Vallecano’s recent home form has been mixed, although a 2-1 home defeat by Real Betis in their last home match in La Liga ended a six-game unbeaten run on home soil.
La Real continued their recent good form last time out by recording a midweek 1-0 win over Mallorca in the Copa del Rey. The victory means that Imanol Alguacil’s team has now claimed victories in their previous seven outings in all competitions.
The side from San Sebastian is also unbeaten in five matches in La Liga, having recorded four straight league wins. The excellent run of form has moved Sociedad up to third place in the table, seven points clear of fifth-place Villarreal in the fight for the Champions League spots.
The visitors head into this game on the back of four wins in their last five matches on their travels in La Liga, having scored at least two goals in each of the victories.
Forebet predicts that Real Sociedad will continue their good form by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
