⦁ Sociedad (6th in La Liga / W-D-L-L-D)
Merino and Zubimendi remain. Ultimately, the stability in midfield, which can be considered Sociedad's strength, can continue steadily. However, the issue is that the attacking line's performance is vastly lacking compared to the midfield strength. In particular, Rayo is a team that applies significant pressure, and last season, Sociedad recorded two draws against Rayo, so they often struggle more than expected against them.
- Absentees: Munoz (LB / Grade A), Zakaerian (CM / Grade A)
● Rayo (17th in La Liga / D-L-L-W)
Watching Rayo's games, you feel they are not a team that would fight for relegation. Regardless of the opponent, their tactic of pushing the defensive line forward to disrupt the buildup from the back is quite attractive. However, with Raul de Tomas scoring only 2 goals, the efficiency of the attack has been terrible, making it very difficult to score relative to their performance. They failed to reach 30 goals last season and are in a situation where acquiring a good attacker is also challenging financially.
- Absentees: None

➍ Match Outlook & Recommended Bet
Betting on under (2.5) and a draw could be a consideration. Overall, neither team stands out significantly in terms of scoring ability. However, Rayo's strong pressure could effectively disrupt Sociedad's characteristic buildup from the back and control of midfield. Last season's two draws, where Rayo matched up well against Sociedad, cannot be overlooked.
