Over 2.5 goals Final — lineups confirmed · Confidence 68%
👀 Alternative: Real Sociedad win or draw (1X) · 67% (not in the main record)
Sociedad's attack is solid (2.3 goals) but their defense leaks (1.4 conceded), while Rayo both scores and concedes heavily (1.78/2.11), creating fertile ground for a high-scoring match. H2H history supports this with an average total of 2.9 and 70% BTTS. The main risk is Rayo's recent defensive showings (0:3, two 1:1 draws), so over isn't guaranteed, but both teams' underlying numbers clearly favor goals.
