Prediction: 1-0
Rayo Vallecano
After suffering a heart-breaking loss to Athletic Bilbao in the Basque derby, Real Sociedad will look to give fans something to cheer about when they face Rayo Vallecano in San Sebastian. La Real are determined to represent Spain in the Champions League next term, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at los Vallecanos. Both Elustondo and Barrenetxea are pushing for a start, whilst both Umar Sadiq and Martin Merquelanz remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Osasuna. Rayo Vallecano, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not belie that they are capable of spoiling Real Sociedad’s party at Reale Arena. Defender Florian Lejeune is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away side.
