Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano face off on matchday 19 of the Liga BBVA, each aiming for a big performance with which to establish winning ways ahead of the second half of the league season.

Team news
Rayo visit Anoeta with notable changes to their squad as Antonio Amaya, Emiliano Insua and Zé Castro return to the list. For the hosts, Carlos Martínez and Zurutuza are the only doubts.

The managers' views
Real Sociedad coach David Moyes outlined the keys to his side’s game plan: "We have to defend well and be patient in winning the ball back. The players know Rayo and are ready." Meanwhile, Paco Jémez – mindful of his team’s recent form and that his players cannot afford to drop points against a direct rival – insisted: "At Rayo we pick ourselves up after defeats. Now we’re up against a top club and we can’t give anything away against them."
