Alaves, Recent FormThe Alaves squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Athletic Bilbao, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Athletic Bilbao, who had 16 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Having conceded 5 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 10 of their 14 games at The Estadio Mendizorrotza.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Real Sociedad, Recent FormHaving secured a 2-0 home win against Cadiz in their latest league match, Real Sociedad will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. In that game they recorded 64 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 13 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Sociedad recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Real Sociedad, Mikel Merino will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Alavés have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with Txuri-Urdin. Babazorros have struggled to break down the Sociedad defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
When playing away from home in the league, Sociedad have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Alavés, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Martín Zubimendi has scored in each of Sociedad's last league game against Alavés.
There is only really one injury concern for the Alavés manager Luis García Plaza ahead of this clash, with Aleksandar Sedlar (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives García Plaza a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil with Ander Barrenetxea (Physical discomfort), Carlos Fernández (Knee), Martín Merquelanz (Knee) and Álvaro Odriozola (Knee) all unavailable for selection, and Aihen Muñoz (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
