Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano will play in the 12th round of the Spanish Primera. The hosts complete the top five, while the guests are only in 14th place. Which of the competitors will score tournament points on November 8th? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Real Sociedad
Current form
Real Sociedad occupies the fifth place in the Primera standings. The team is second only to Betis and the three main favorites of the championship. In the second half of October, the Basques were able to score three consecutive victories. In the championship, the club confidently defeated Malaga (5:2) and Levante (2:1), and in the Europa League, the hosts defeated Norwegian Lillestrem (6:0). On November 2, the San Sebastian team lost to Athletic Bilbao (1:2). This week, Pellegrino Matarazzo's team drew with Lyon (1-1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Odriosola will not play due to injury. The entry of Oyarsabal, Sarr and Zakharyan into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
The team has lost only one of the last seven matches.
In the last three face-to-face matches, Real Sociedad has never won
Rayo Vallecano has not lived up to expectations yet. The team occupies only 14th place in the standings and is two points ahead of the relegation zone, but it has a match in reserve and can improve its position. Madrid played their last two league matches on their own field, but they turned out to be completely different in terms of results. On October 24, the club defeated Elche (0-3), but a week later Rayo Vallecano defeated Celta himself (3-0). There was a cup victory over Recreativo between these matches, but it was only won in extra time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Battaglia, Garcia, Luis Felipe and Valentin will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
The team has scored in each of the last six away matches
In the last seven away matches, Rayo Vallecano has never won in regular time.
Real Sociedad knows how to achieve the desired result, but it doesn't smash its rivals that often. Even the home wins over Deportivo and Levante turned out to be minimal, and Rayo Vallecano may well impose competition on the opponent. In the last three head-to-head matches, the Basques have never won. The match can be difficult for the hosts.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1) at Rayo Vallecano in 1.65
After a European Cup match in the middle of the week, Real Sociedad is unlikely to be able to recover in time, so do not expect an over-productive game from the hosts. The guests will certainly play in a defensive style, but Madrid are still inferior to their opponent in class. Let's venture to assume that the opponents will not break the three-goal bar.
Our betting tip is a total of less than three goals in 1.85
Betting on corners
The opponents haven't been giving so many corners lately. Clubs try to score from the game and don't really count on standards. According to this indicator, opponents are unlikely to break through the total.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 10.5 corners in 1.75
