H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Deportivo Alaves Team Overview
🔵 After dropping points in the last round, Alaves have slipped into the relegation zone. Just one point behind the crucial 17th spot, their chances of avoiding the drop are still alive. However, their lackluster home performances this season cannot be ignored-16 points from 15 games ranks them 19th in the league. Whether Eduardo Coudet will take risks in the remaining fixtures is something we'll soon find out.
🔝 The club's standout player this season remains Kike Garcia. His goal against Sevilla in the last round marked his 14th across all competitions. Interestingly, these are his best scoring numbers since his time with Murcia in the 2013/14 season when he netted 23 goals. It's worth noting that the Spanish forward's contract with Alaves runs until the end of the current campaign.
❌ Eduardo Coudet can count on almost all his key players for the upcoming La Liga fixture. The only absentee is Abdel Abqar. The Moroccan defender suffered a hamstring injury and missed the match against Sevilla.

Real Sociedad Team Overview
⚪ Real Sociedad's inconsistent performances have hindered their ability to secure a spot in European competition. Currently, they trail the top eight by just one point. Their straightforward approach in attack has led to issues with scoring, averaging only one goal per match, placing them 16th in the league for goals scored. Their recent clash with Villarreal ended in a 1-1 draw, offering little in terms of positive takeaways. A glance at the shot statistics reveals a stark contrast: 20 shots for the "Yellow Submarine" compared to just 4 for Sociedad.
📣 Given the game's dynamics, earning a point against Villarreal at the "Ceramics" can be seen as a success. Head coach Imanol Alguacil shared this sentiment, stating, "The match was a source of pride."
❌ Currently sidelined for the San Sebastián club are Ander Barrenetxea, Álvaro Odriozola, Orri Óskarsson, Arsen Zakharyan, Igor Zubeldia, and Nayef Aguerd. Each player plays a significant role in Imanol Alguacil's tactical setup, complicating the manager's task in the remaining league fixtures.

Editor's Prediction
The matchup promises to be intriguing due to the contrasting playing styles and tournament ambitions of the teams: Alaves need to climb out of the relegation zone, while Real Sociedad aim to return to European competition spots. Bookmakers favor the hosts, which we suggest capitalizing on by betting that Real Sociedad will not lose. Imanol Alguacil's squad have avoided defeat in their last four away games and are certainly capable of taking points from one of La Liga's lower-tier sides. Another option is to consider a bet on under 2.5 goals, supported by several prevailing trends.
