Rayo Vallecano's six-game unbeaten run will be put to the test on Sunday afternoon, with Real Sociedad making the trip to Estadio de Vallecas in Spain's top flight.
The home side are currently seventh in the La Liga table, boasting 16 points from their opening 10 matches, while Real Sociedad are fifth, collecting 18 points from their first 10 games of the season.
The response has been strong, though, with Francisco's side unbeaten in each of their six games since, beating Alaves and Las Palmas in addition to drawing with Villarreal, Cadiz, Mallorca and Sevilla.
A record of four wins, four draws and two defeats from 10 league matches this season has seen Rayo collect 16 points, which is enough for seventh spot in the table, only two points behind their opponents in this match.
Los Franjirrojos have finished 12th and 11th in their last two La Liga seasons following their promotion back to this level, but they certainly look capable of pushing higher this term, with eighth, which was secured during the 2012-13 campaign, a realistic target for the capital side.
