Real Sociedad, Recent FormReal Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Cadiz. During that encounter they had 60% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 10 shots on goal.
Alguacil will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals. They're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Alaves, Recent FormAlaves will not be too troubled by their 1-0 home defeat against Real Madrid, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Real Madrid's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Luis García Plaza will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and this season overall, they've failed to score in 9 of their 18 games.
An away win for Alaves is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 13 games.
On an individual basis, Samuel Samu will be looking to cause Real Sociedad some problems having scored 3 goals in Alaves' last 6 away games in the league.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 1-0 win for Real Sociedad.
Sociedad have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with Babazorros. During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Reale Arena, Babazorros have been unable to break through the Sociedad defence and find the back of the net.
Playing at home, Sociedad have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced Alavés in the league.
With only Ander Barrenetxea (Ankle) and Arsen Zakharyan (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Imanol Alguacil will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With Aleksandar Sedlar (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Giuliano Simeone (Sprained ankle) also unavailable in the shorter term, Alavés manager Luis García Plaza will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
