Premium Tips

A shot-happy Rayo centre-back and a high-scoring home win at the Anoeta.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Florian Lejeune 2+ shots5/4 (Betfred)Florian Lejeune has had 18 La Liga shots this season, the third most in the Rayo squad behind Sergio Camello and Pedro Díaz. Remarkably for a centre-back, he has managed two or more efforts in seven of his ten full league games. Moreover, he hit that mark in three of his last four, including three shots against both Elche and Osasuna. Rayo have scored in all five of their away league games, so they will get forward. Betfred’s 5/4 on the Frenchman looks generous.
Real Sociedad to win and over 3.5 goals3/1 (Sky Bet)Real Sociedad have won six La Liga games this season, and four of those wins featured four goals or more. They beat Elche, Valencia and Deportivo 3-2 before winning 5-2 at Málaga. Rayo bring goals with them, too. They have scored in all five away league games but conceded 13, including five at Barcelona and four at Real Madrid. The hosts are winless in six meetings with Rayo, which explains the price. However, three wins in their last four league games make 3/1 with Sky Bet worth a look.

How Real Sociedad go into the game

Sitting fifth on 19 points, Real Sociedad have won six of their 11 La Liga games. They won three in a row against Deportivo, Málaga and Levante before losing 2-1 at Athletic Club last time out. Luka Sucic scored their goal in Bilbao.

At the Anoeta, they have won three, drawn one and lost one, scoring seven and conceding seven. Their only home defeat came against Atlético Madrid, who won 3-0 in September. They have scored in eight of their 11 league games. Moreover, both teams have scored in eight of their 11 league games. Sucic leads the way with four league goals, while Orri Steinn Óskarsson has three. Mikel Oyarzabal, Gonçalo Guedes and Ander Barrenetxea have two each.

Zakharyan, Beitia and Odriozola are all out injured. Meanwhile, the hosts also played in the Europa League on Thursday, so some rotation is possible.

How Rayo Vallecano go into the game

Rayo Vallecano are 12th on 12 points with a game in hand. They beat Celta Vigo 3-0 at home last time out, with Jorge de Frutos scoring twice and Unai López adding the third. Before that, they lost 3-0 at home to Elche and drew 1-1 at Getafe and Osasuna.

All three of Rayo’s league wins have come at home. Away from home, they have drawn two and lost three, conceding 13 goals. However, they have scored in all five of those games. Sergio Camello is their top scorer with seven league goals, although he has drawn a blank in his last three. Álvaro García has three goals and De Frutos two. Defensively, though, they have kept only one clean sheet in ten league games.

Goalkeeper Batalla and defender Luiz Felipe are out injured. In addition, Andrei Ratiu is a doubt with a muscle problem.
