Real Sociedad

RS failed the first-round match against Rayo Vallecano with a score of 1:2. It was a disappointing loss, especially given that the Basques were playing at home. But in the second round, Real Sociedad got their first win. The away Basques beat Catalan Espanyol 1:0. Kubo scored the only goal in the 80th minute. In total, the Basques have scored 1.03 goals on the xG index. Odriozola, Zakharyan, and Subeldia won't be helping out the teammates, while Barrenechea Muguruza, Elustondo, and Pacheco are up in the air.

Alaves

The only player who we won't see among the visitors is Sedlar. Everyone else is in the lineup. Alavés got off to a rough start, losing 1:2 on the road to Celta and then drawing 0:0 at home against Betis. In the match against Sevilla, the Basques had an xG index of 0.12 goals, which was a pretty poor showing from Alavés. They were lucky that the game ended in a draw. That said, all teams from the Basque Country are technically considered home teams.

Expert Betting Tips

Real Sociedad lost their first home game of the season, and statistically speaking, they performed just as well as the opponent. That is, RS is pretty motivated to defeat their neighbor. Alaves didn't succeed in the second round, as they had a rough meeting against Betis. One would say they didn't really fail, even though they lost on all parameters except for goals. In this match, we're on the side of the home team. We think Real Sociedad will win, and they'll do it with confidence.
