The 2021-22 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Rayo Vallecano lock horns with an impressive Real Sociedad outfit at the Estadio de Vallecas on Sunday.
Rayo Vallecano vs Real Sociedad Preview
Rayo Vallecano are currently in 11th place in the La Liga standings and have slumped after a strong start to their campaign. The Madrid-based outfit stunned Barcelona with a 1-0 victory last weekend and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive this season. La Real suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Barcelona in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
