Rayo Vallecano v Sociedad
Sunday 17:30
Just as we hoped, Atletico Madrid cruised past Huesca 3-0 in yesterday's game from Spain to comfortably deliver our win bet.
We started this week in Spain and that's also where we'll finish it. On Monday, Sociedad won 3-2 at home to Espanyol to make it two wins out of two for new boss Imanol Alguacil. The Basques appear to be rejuvenated and we fancy there will be more goals on their trip to Rayo Vallecano this afternoon.
Ninth in the table at the start of today, Sociedad have won half of their 10 away games this term. Travelling to teams now below them in La Liga, they are W4-D1-L1. Both teams have scored in 5/6 and the same fraction have delivered Over 2.5 Goals, which is an even-money bet for today's match.
We're pleasantly surprised by that price. Eighteenth-placed Vallecano's most recent appearance at their Campo de Futbol home brought a 4-2 win over Celta Vigo. This term, 8/10 league matches there have produced Over 2.5 Goals, as the hosts have scored in every one, while notching just a single clean sheet. Rayo have actually scored at least twice in four of the last five. With two dangerous attacks going head to head this afternoon, we're gratefully accepting that generous price about Over 2.5 Goals.
