After a run of eight away defeats in 10 matches against Rayo Vallecano, Real Sociedad have taken something away from each of their last four trips to the Vallecas. Real Sociedad have failed to win their last seven away games against teams from Madrid in La Liga but have managed to find the back of the net in all these matches. Rayo Vallecano have managed 26 points from their 17 points in La Liga so far - their highest tally at this stage of the competition since the turn of the century. Rayo Vallecano vs Real Sociedad Prediction Real Sociedad have exceeded expectations so far this season and will be intent on securing their place in the top four.
The likes of Mikel Oyarzabal and Alexander Sorloth can be lethal on their day and will look to make their mark in this fixture. Rayo Vallecano can pack a punch on their day but have not been at their best in recent weeks. Real Sociedad are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.

Also missing will be Toni Kroos (rested), while Zidane is expected to rotate as well. As such, Gareth Bale looks a little like a lone soldier for this one, just as he did last time out against Rayo. The encouraging part? That went pretty well. CURTO DE LA TORRE/Getty ImagesFor the hosts, meanwhile, Saturday's clash with Madrid has a curious feel to it. In normal circumstances, you'd expect Real Sociedad to give the men from the capital an attritional battle, given their recent history for doing just that against the elite and the upswing in form since Eusebio Sacristan replaced David Moyes. But here, La Real won't look much like, well, La Real.
This time, Madrid's opponents are Real Sociedad at Anoeta, and soon afterward Atletico Madrid will play host to Rayo before Barcelona tackle Real Betis in Seville. Like Take 1 and Take 2, Take 3 is a compelling scenario: six hours, three crunch matches, everything on the line, zero margin for error. For Madrid, however, Saturday's trip north to San Sebastian strikes as the trickiest of the three. In recent times, Anoeta has been something of a graveyard for La Liga's elite. Earlier this month, Barcelona lost 1-0 in the home of Real Sociedad to extend their nine-year winless run at the ground, while last season all three of the Spain's title contenders inexplicably fell in a hole there.
Rayo Vallecano vs Real Sociedad Prediction and Betting Tips | 21st January 2023The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Rayo Vallecano lock horns with an impressive Real Sociedad side at the Estadio de Vallecas on Saturday. Rayo Vallecano vs Real Sociedad Preview Real Sociedad are currently in third place in the La Liga standings and have been in excellent form this season.
"We know that it is going to be a complicated game at difficult stadium, " said Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane on Friday. "We will start the game knowing what we have to do: start strong. "Typically Madrid would like their chances of doing so and overwhelming the Basques, but for this clash, Zidane and Co. are heading north well below full strength. Indeed, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema will be absent because of injury and are in a race against time to be fit for Wednesday's crucial second leg against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League.
La Real edged Mallorca to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend. Real Vallecano, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side edged Real Valladolid to a 1-0 victory last week and will need to achieve a similar result in this fixture. Rayo Vallecano vs Real Sociedad Head-to-Head and Key Numbers Real Sociedad have a slight edge over Rayo Vallecano and have won 11 of the last 30 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Rayo Vallecano's 10 victories. After a run of three consecutive victories against Real Sociedad, Rayo Vallecano are winless in their last seven matches against La Real in La Liga.
Suspended, leading forward Carlos Vela will be missing. So too will strikers Jonathas and Imanol Agirretxe. Key centre-back Inigo Martinez is also out. "It's a pity we will be without [those players] but that doesn't take away any of our keenness, " said Eusebio on Friday. Though La Real's boss is obliged to say as much, he'll also know his side has little on the line here. Twelfth in the table, safe with 42 points, Real Sociedad sit right in the middle of La Liga's we-don't-have-anything-left-to-play-for bunch, the threat of relegation gone but European places too far away. "As far as we are concerned there is no lack of desire and determination to compete to our best level, " added Eusebio, refuting such a suggestion.
