Team News

Real Sociedad
Deportivo Alaves
  • Real Sociedad remain without the services of Arsen Zakharyan, while Ander Barrenetxea is a doubt after he sat out Saturday's win due to an injury issue.
  • Kubo dropped to the bench at the weekend, but he could be rewarded with a recall after making a significant impact from the bench.
  • Sedlar's absence due to suspension is likely to open the door for Moussa Diarra to line up in central defence alongside Abdel Abqar.
  • Luis Garcia could be tempted to freshen up his side with the introduction of Hugo Novoa, Carlos Benavidez, Luka Romero and Jon Guridi.

Prediction

  • Real Sociedad has lost key defender Robin Le Normand to Atletico Madrid and is close to saying goodbye to Mikel Merino, who is on the verge of joining Arsenal. They retained Liverpool target Martin Zubimendi, who scored in their opening-day loss to Rayo Vallecano.
  • Despite a slow start, they bounced back with a win against Espanyol. Real Sociedad aims to continue their unbeaten streak against Alaves, having won three and drawn three in their last six meetings.
  • Meanwhile, Alaves, in their second consecutive La Liga season, finished 10th last term, their best since 2016-17. They face challenges after a summer turnover, securing just one point from two matches. Alaves will strive for their first win against Real Sociedad since June 2020 in their upcoming away fixture.
