Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction & Picks - LaLiga
by Edgar Jibran | in LaLiga Picks
The 2024/25 La Liga season has kicked off last Thursday, and one of the teams that has set the trend in the top spots of the Spaniard league during the most recent seasons is Real Sociedad, team that has managed to remain as one of the best teams in Spain despite having a modest squad compared to the top teams like Atletico, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Their debut for this season will be against Rayo Vallecano, a team that battled during the 38 rounds to avoid relegation during the last season, so it’s more than notable that bookmakers are putting Real Sociedad as the top favorite to win this match, scenario that would be ideal for a team that is expected to keep in the top spots of the standings even when their offensive could be labeled as very dependent on Oyarzabal’s performance.
Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano has tried to transfer good quality players, but it’s more than evident that the financial capacity of this team is extremely limited. In this regard, the best thing that could happen to the Vallecas’ team is to take advantage of the slow pace of the first rounds to sum as much points as possible, and from that spot, trying to keep distance from the relegation places.
