Daily Dynamo Selections – Rayo Vallecano v Real Sociedad
This La Liga fixture features two teams that are desperate for three points as the season enters its final furlongs. However, the aims of the two clubs are completely different given the vastly differing campaigns that they have experienced thus far.
Sociedad know that they must close the seven-point gap on fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao if they are to secure Champions League football for next season. Vallecano, meanwhile, are merely attempting to secure their La Liga status for another season. .A hard-fought 1-0 win over Valencia last time out moved them to within three points of safety.
In terms of quality, one would expect Sociedad to wrap up there points here. However, recent results haven't necessarily gone in their favour, and while at one time they looked a good bet to claim a Champions League place, that hope has receded considerably of late. Defeat at Sevilla on Sunday only served to hinder their cause, and they’ll be aiming to get back to winning ways as soon as possible to keep their Champions League dreams alive.
Sociedad have been very reliant this season on the goals of Arsenal target Antoine Griezmann, who has bagged 20 already this term. If he can be at his best then it will certainly give Sociedad a good chance of victory. However, Real Sociedad have lost just once at home all season so Sociedad face a tough task on Monday night.
Based on these factors, I can see this being a very close game, and I think the draw bet offers the best value in this fixture.
