Real Sociedad v Rayo Vallecano

La Liga, Regular season, Matchday 12. Kick-off Sunday 8 November, 15:15 UK time, at Reale Arena, San Sebastian.

Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Real Sociedad v Rayo Vallecano is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

The results here are not telling the whole story. Real Sociedad have scored 23 in their last nine from chances that would usually bring about 16. That finishing is running hot. Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano are trending up: in their last four games they have made clearly better chances than in the games before. On top of that, they have failed to win three of their last ten games in which they made the better chances. Their football is better than their results. Whoever makes the better chances on the day takes this one.
