Forecast: Real Sociedad victory. Head coach Imanol Alguacil has strengthened the team while retaining key players. Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano has lost many players and not strengthened. Real has the advantage in terms of quality and current position. The chances of victory for the guests are minimal based on previous statistical indicators.
Real Sociedad is hosting Rayo Vallecano on their home field. The hosts showed good results last season and are ready to start the new one. They have strengthened and will be actively attacking in this match. Rayo Vallecano narrowly avoided relegation and did not have a quality preparation for the season. The team has few new players and their overall form is questionable. Thanks to experience, home field advantage, and motivation, Real Sociedad will win with a comfortable margin. Prediction: Real Sociedad to win with a handicap (-1.5).
