The upcoming La Liga match between Alaves and Real Sociedad presents a critical juncture for both teams, with Alaves currently situated in the relegation zone and desperate for points . Having drawn their last match against Sevilla, Alaves aims to leverage their home advantage to secure a much-needed victory. Conversely, Real Sociedad is striving for European qualification; however, their recent form has been inconsistent, highlighted by a draw against Villarreal . This context sets the stage for a compelling encounter.
Deportivo Alaves, under the management of former Celta Vigo boss Eduardo Coudet who surprisingly and perhaps controversially replaced Luis Garcia Plaza in early-December, begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting in the bottom three and the relegation places.
The hosts come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Andalusia at the weekend with Kike scoring a first-half stoppage-time equaliser in that game after Gatito Fernandez had given Sevilla a 12th minute lead.
Alaves possible starting lineup: Sivera; Tenaglia, Darces, Mourino, Sanchez; Jordan, Blanco; Vicente, Guridi, Alena; Garcia
Real Sociedad possible starting lineup: Remiro; Aramburu, Martin, Elustondo, Munoz; Zubimendi; Kubo, Mendez, Marin, Gomez; Oyarzabal
In terms of potential lineups, Alaves will be without key player Abdelkabir Abqar due to injury. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad faces challenges with several injuries affecting their squad depth . Notably, Mikel Oyarzabal’s recent scoring prowess could be pivotal in influencing the match's outcome. Predictions suggest a tightly contested game may result in a 1-1 draw as both teams navigate their respective objectives .
While Real Sociedad are unbeaten in three away league games, their recent away form is poor, with only one win in eight La Liga road trips. Therefore, Alaves, battling relegation, are likely to secure a draw on Wednesday.
As for live broadcast information, fans can catch the action on GXR World in India and Premier Sports in the UK at 19:30 GMT on April 24th . The stakes are high as Alaves fights to escape relegation while Real Sociedad seeks to maintain momentum toward European competition. Such dynamics promise an engaging spectacle that reflects the competitive nature of La Liga.
