Real Sociedad should win here.

Real Sociedad started the season well, but in the last months they went down due to problems with injuries and the other competitions (Cup, Europa League), as they weren’t able to make rotations and players were exhausted.

Now they have no excuses: several key players are back from injuries, they are out of all competitions and can focus on La Liga.

After a great campaign, now they are out of European spots in the league: are sitting 7th, one point below Villarreal who won yesterday. So they need a victory today to achieve the 7th position again and continue in the fight for that.

On the other hand, Alaves improved a bit with a new coach but their results and performances continue being so bad. Are still on relegation zone (19th) and are bad especially playing away, where they achieved just 6 points in 13 games played.

The team can’t make a decent game playing away, and the best example is the last weekend where against a direct rival like Getafe who received a red card at 30’, Alaves weren’t able to keep the advantage as they conceded a goal twice: after 0:1 and after 1:2.

Both teams have a serious problem with the lack of goal: Hosts scored 28 so far and guests 21. But I see a difference here: Hosts are plenty of quality so sooner or later, goals will come. Guests have a weak squad where only their striker Joseu (topscorer - 12 goals) is dangerous.

Real Sociedad surely will make a very offensive and intense match, as they must be hurt after the big defeat vs Real Madrid (4:1) last weekend. Alaves will make a defensive game but I don't see them taking something positive from here.

皇家社会赛季开局不错，但在过去的几个月里，由于伤病问题和其他比赛(杯赛，欧罗巴联赛)，他们无法进行轮换，球员们都筋疲力尽。

现在他们没有借口了:几个关键球员已经从伤病中恢复，他们已经退出了所有的比赛，可以专注于西甲了。

经过一个伟大的赛季，现在他们在欧洲联赛中排名第七，比昨天获胜的比利亚雷亚尔低一分。所以他们今天需要一场胜利来再次获得第七名，并继续为此而战。

另一方面，阿拉维斯在新教练的带领下有了一些进步，但他们的成绩和表现仍然很差。他们仍然在降级区(第19位)，而且踢得很糟糕，在客场的13场比赛中他们只得到6分。

这支球队在客场无法打出一场像样的比赛，最好的例子是上周对阵直接对手赫塔菲(赫塔菲在30分钟时被红牌罚下)时，阿拉维斯队未能保持优势，因为他们在0:1和1:2后两次失球。

两支球队都面临着缺少进球的严重问题:东道主迄今共进28球，客队21球。但我在这里看到了不同之处:东道主的素质很高，所以进球迟早会到来。客人们有一个虚弱的阵容，只有他们的前锋约瑟(最佳射手- 12球)是危险的。

皇家社会肯定会是一场非常有攻击性和激烈的比赛，因为他们在上周末与皇家马德里(4:1)的大比分失利后一定会受伤。阿拉维斯会打出一场防守的比赛，但我不认为他们会从这里得到什么积极的东西。
