Real Sociedad will welcome Alaves to the Reale Arena in La Liga on Sunday. The hosts have been the better team in the Basque derby, so Alaves will hope to reverse the trend.
The hosts suffered a 4-1 loss at Real Madrid in their previous outing, putting a dent in their European hopes. Alaves, meanwhile, are winless in their last three league games, keeping them in the relegation zone. They kept their nerves to hold second-placed Sevilla to a goalless draw and will look to return to winning ways.
Real Sociedad vs Alaves Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Real Sociedad vs Alaves Prediction
Real Sociedad have lost just two league games this season at home, winning three of their last four games. Alaves have lost six of their last seven away outings.
Though derby games can be unpredictable, it is unlikely Alaves will leave a good account of themselves here. Los Txuri-Urdin are the favourites, but it is expected to be a low-scoring win for the hosts.
Prediction: Real Sociedad 1-0 Alaves.
