Team News

Real Sociedad
Rayo Vallecano
  • Sheraldo Becker could get the start over Umar Sadiq; he scored an impressive goal on his debut against Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey.
  • Hamari Traore will be absent for a little while longer as Mali topped their AFCON group, progressing to the last 16 of the tournament.
  • Benat Turrientes should get a start in this one due to the suspension of Mikel Merino.
  • Kike Perez returns from suspension and should start this fixture. Alvaro Garcia is suspended having picked up two yellow cards in the 2-0 loss to Las Palmas.
  • Oscar Trejo could return, too, having recovered from injury.
  • Pathe Ciss will be away for a longer period with Senegal having qualified for the last 16 of AFCON.

Prediction

  • Rayo have only won once in their last five La Liga matches and face a tough trip to the Basque country to face a Sociedad side who are seeking their fourth victory in a row.
  • A victory for the hosts could take them within three points of rivals Athletic Club in fifth place. Three points for Rayo will see them edge closer to the top half of the table once again.
  • Sheraldo Becker, signed from Union Berlin last week, will be an important weapon for Sociedad through the absence of Takefusa Kubo to the Asian Cup. It's likely he could score again this weekend, given his fantastic scoring record for Union Berlin.

    I don't see many goals in home match of Real Sociedad. I guess less than 2.5 @1.55
