• Real Sociedad vs Getafe Prediction: La Liga Match on 24.09.2023

La Liga Preview

It has been a solid start to the new La Liga season for Rayo Vallecano, as they currently sit sixth in the top flight standings. A victory this weekend could see the Spanish side end the round in the top four spots in the standings. They should come into the weekend in good confidence, as they have won three of their opening five matches at the start of the campaign. 

Vallecano would have been delighted with their response last weekend, as they ended a two-game losing run by landing maximum points against Alaves. It was a professional display by the hosts on that occasion, as they registered a staggering eleven shots on target. The goals in the win were netted by Isi Palazon and Jorge de Frutos.

Villarreal will be the visitors this weekend, as they look to build on their second victory of the season, which was picked up last weekend. The victory still sees the Spanish side sit 13th in the standings, but a victory could lift them into the top six positions in the standings this weekend. 

Villarreal ended a two-game losing run last weekend, as they overcame Almeria to record a 2-1 victory in front of their home fans. The Spanish side fell behind on the stroke of half time, but they hit back in excellent fashion. Gerard Moreno scored the equalising goal in the fifth minute of extra time, before Alexander Sorloth netted a dramatic winning goal. 

Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal Head to Head

Villarreal have won ten of their 15 showdowns against Rayo Vallecano across all competitions. However, Vallecano have impressed across the recent meetings, as they have won each of their last two. Their most recent success was in this exact fixture last term by a 2-1 scoreline. 

Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal Prediction

Villarreal managed to get over the line last weekend, but this looks a tougher fixture on paper. Vallecano have a fine recent record in front of their home fixtures, and it could be worth siding with the hosts to land a second straight victory this weekend.
