Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 05/10/2025

After failing to spoil Barcelona’s party in Catalonia, Real Sociedad will look to get back on course in Primera Division when they face Rayo Vallecano on Matchday 7. The Basques defeated Mallorca 1-0 in their last home game, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Rayo’s visit. Japan ace Takefusa Kubo is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while the likes of Aritz Elustondo, Orri Oskarsson, and Yangel Herrera remain in the recovery room. The capital club, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and they must be low on confidence following six consecutive games without a win. As Real Sociedad have turned their Reale Arena into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors will return to Madrid empty-handed. Tired legs should prove to be a big problem for Rayo as they faced Shkendija in the Conference League round 1 on Thursday. Adding to their woes, forward Sergio Camello is banned for the away team.
