Real Sociedad

DWDWLD

Previously, Real Sociedad drew 2-2 in the La Liga match with Villarreal.

In that match, Real Sociedad had 42% possession and 4 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Real Sociedad was Mikel Oyarzabal (19', 49'). For their opponents, Villarreal got 20 shots at goal with 4 on target. Yeremy Pino (7') and Ayoze Pérez (60') scored for Villarreal.

Real Sociedad have regularly broken through opposing defences in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 13 times in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Imanol Alguacil will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Real Sociedad have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same matches. Historical results aside, we will just have to wait and see if that trend shall continue on in this next match.

Their prior results show that Real Sociedad:

• haven't been beaten by Alaves when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their previous 3 league matches away from home.

↔️ Head to head

An examination of their prior head to head meetings going back to 21/02/2021 shows us that Alaves have won 1 of these games & Real Sociedad 3, with the tally of drawn results standing at 2.

In all, 13 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 4 of them for Babazorros and 9 netted by Txuri-urdin. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.17.

ℹ️ Team News: Alaves

We are thinking that Babazorros will probably employ a 4-4-2 system in the match and select Antonio Sivera, Nahuel Tenaglia, Santiago Mourino, Facundo Garces, Manuel Sanchez, Carlos Vicente, Antonio Blanco, Joan Jordan, Carles Alena, Kike Garcia and Carlos Martin.

ℹ️ Team News: Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has multiple availability issues to deal with. Arsen Zakharyan (Muscle injury), Igor Zubeldia (Hamstring injury) and Álvaro Odriozola (Muscle injury) miss out here.

We are inclined to think that Txuri-urdin appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 formation, choosing Alex Remiro, Jon Aramburu, Aritz Elustondo, Jon Pacheco, Aihen Munoz, Pablo Marin, Martin Zubimendi, Luka Sucic, Takefusa Kubo, Mikel Oyarzabal and Sergio Gomez.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Real Sociedad will manage to breach the defence of this Alaves outfit, although that might not be as many as they will have scored against them.

We can see a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Alaves when the full-time whistle blows. Definitely a tough call.
