Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad go head to head at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas in a highly-anticipated La Liga game. Los Vallecanos are eyeing their third consecutive league win, and they must be high on spirits following a triumph over Barcelona. Head coach Andoni Iraola will watch the game from the stands following his sending off in the Camp Nou victory, while both Saveljich and Merquelanz remains in the recovery room.
La Real, on the other hand, were beaten by Barca in their last league match. The Basques are eyeing a spot in the Europa League, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Experienced midfielder David Silva is back from suspension for the visiting side.
