Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano
Our regulary Game Of The Day betting preview for this monday evening comes from Spanish Primera Division and brings us this very exciting match when Real Sociedad welcomes Rayo Vallecano at its De Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian.
Real is currently in last place which leads to the Europa League and just two points clear of Sevilla who really wants to do the same place. With a game in hand and one point less than Villareal this is a great time to change position with them and to keep the team Sevilla at a respectful distance. Sociedad is fifth best host with the best home defence allowing no more than 0.7 goals per match and scoring no less than 2.5 goals per match. The only home loss of Sociedad is against Atletico Madrid.
88% of their victories are with two goals difference or more (50% with 3 or more). The team is in very good form of late (2-2-1) and at home it is almost perfect 4-1-0 (14/2). Real are undefeated in San Sebastian in 10 consecutive matches.
Rayo Vallecano is not in great form lately. For the last 5 games, recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats. We must note that these two victories were on their turf, where they beat Valencia 1-0 and convincingly team Malaga 4-1 at the beginning of February.
The team has the second leakiest defence in the league and conceding on a regular basis and a lot - 2.3 goals on average. 75% of their losses are with 2 or more goal margin. In six away matches with top 10 teams Rayo scored only twice and conceded 20 times. The team is weak away form of 1-1-3 (2/10 goals).
Rayo is currently in the relegation zone and their survival still can not cope with such a strong teams like Sociedad (three times higher market price just for the record) especially away from home.
The direct encounters show utter dominance of Real on their home turf (8-3-1) with goals diference 27/9. Sociedad is in a serie of four consecutive home wins against this opponent with 10/0 goal diference. Rayo has successes over Real Sociedad only when Rayo is the host. It seems that every of these two teams pushes home advantage to the limit (9-2-1 for Rayo at Vallecano in historical plan).
I'll look for a solution for this bet in the asian market, and I expect another convincing victory for Sociedad by 3-0. However, we'll do this more cautiously and go with the AH-1 at great odds 1.70 just in case that they beat them with just one goal margin. In that case we got our stake refunded. GOOD LUCK.
