On Saturday afternoon, in form, Real Sociedad will look to extend their recent winning win to four games as La Real welcomes Rayo Vallecano to the Reale Arena.
Team stats and analysis
These two teams head into this clash on the back of contrasting form. Real Sociedad recorded a third consecutive La Liga victory last time out by recording a 2-1 win at Celta Vigo in the last eight of the Copa del Rey.
However, Real Sociedad’s recent games have been low-scoring affairs, as seven of their last nine matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
In contrast, in all competitions, Rayo has won just once in their previous seven games. The poor run includes back-to-back defeats against Girona and Las Palmas.
Their recent outings have not exactly been goal-filled either, as seven of their previous eight matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Where are they in the table?
Real Sociedad are in sixth position, occupying the final European spot in the Spanish top-flight table.
However, their big objective will be a top-four finish this season. Imanol Aranguiz’s team is currently just six points adrift of the league's top four.
Rayo Vallecano is 12th place in the Spanish top-flight table, 12 points adrift of their San Sebastian neighbours. They are also eight points clear of the relegation zone, so they are genuinely midtable.
Home and away
Real Sociedad have been tough to beat at the Reale Arena in recent months, as they are unbeaten in five home games in all competitions.
However, their last three home games have all produced low-scoring draws.
Rayo Vallecano have had mixed fortunes on their recent travels, but winning two of their last seven matches away from home isn’t a great record.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Real Sociedad will extend their winning run to four games by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
