Real Sociedad
Form & Tactical Outlook
Real Sociedad have won six, drawn one and lost four of their 11 league games this season, leaving them four points adrift of the top four. They ended a three-game winning run with a 2-1 defeat to Athletic Bilbao last weekend. Orri Oskarsson has scored four goals in his last five games. La Real have also gone three consecutive home games without defeat and will look to secure a third straight home league win after beating Levante and Deportivo A Coruna.
Team News
Real Sociedad will be without long-term absentee Alvaro Odriozola. Mamadou Sarr is doubtful due to a calf issue, while Arsen Zakharyan is trying to prove his fitness after missing the last two games. Captain Mikel Oyarzabal is expected to be available despite finishing the midweek draw against Lyon with a back problem.
Rayo Vallecano
Form & Tactical Outlook
Rayo Vallecano have recorded three wins, three draws and four defeats in their 10 league games this season, sitting two points above the relegation zone. They have lost just one of their last five league matches (W2, D2). Rayo secured a 3-0 victory over Celta Vigo last weekend, with Jorge de Frutos scoring twice and Unai Lopez scored his first goal of the season. They will now seek their first away league win under Benat San Jose. Rayo have also won their last two away meetings with Real Sociedad.
Team News
Rayo Vallecano will be without Oscar Valentin and Alvaro Garcia due to knee and hamstring injuries respectively. Augusto Batalla, Kumbulla and Luiz Felipe are also unavailable, with Luiz Felipe remaining a long-term absentee following a serious knee injury last month.
Pathe Ciss will return from a one-match suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards.
