Real Sociedad have been struggling lately. In their last five matches, they have drawn three times and lost once, with their only win coming in a high-scoring away game. That suggests they are finding it hard to get results right now, especially at home where they have been drawing a lot.

Rayo Vallecano, on the other hand, are in better shape. They have won two of their last five games and drawn twice, losing just once. Recent meetings between these two teams have been full of goals, with four of the last six matches seeing three or more goals. This looks like an open game, and given their current form, Rayo Vallecano should win this match.
