Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: We do not see more than two goals

Prediction for the Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano match which will take place on August 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Basque team has played six friendlies ahead of the start of the 2024/25 season. Victories over Tokyo Verdi and Gamba Osaka, defeats to Alaves, Osasuna, and Rennes, and a draw against Union Berlin. The Basque side is fourth in La Liga regarding squad value, behind the big three, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico.

The Bees have won just one of their six friendlies, losing to Vitoria, Heerenveen, and Bournemouth and drawing with Wolverhampton and Braga. While the Basques have the fourth most expensive squad in the Primera Division, Rayo is fourth from the bottom, with only three elite newcomers - Espanyol, Valladolid, and Leganes - cheaper.

Real Sociedad has a solid and well-drilled squad, and the Basques have always been the home team. It makes sense that the bookmakers have made the Royal Blues clear favorites, and we are backing them to win comfortably. Regarding the total, we do not expect a big performance and do not see more than two goals in the match.
