Match Analysis

Alaves' recent performances have been a mixed bag, with a win, a draw, and a loss in their last three outings. Their victory against Girona on the road showcased their resilience, while a draw against Sevilla hinted at their capacity to hold strong teams at bay. However, a narrow defeat to Real Madrid at home underlines the challenges they've faced this season. The team's average of 0.2 goals scored per game in their last five matches highlights their struggle in front of goal, yet their defense has been relatively solid, conceding an average of just 1.0 goal per game. On the other hand, Sociedad has mirrored inconsistency, marked by a recent draw against Villarreal and a win over Las Palmas, but a disappointing home loss to Mallorca indicates vulnerabilities. Sociedad has been more potent in attack, averaging 1.4 goals per game in their last five matches. However, their defensive frailties are apparent with an average of 2.4 goals conceded per game, a factor that could be crucial in their upcoming match against Alaves.

Final Prediction

Alaves might have an edge in this fixture due to their relatively disciplined defense, as evidenced by their ability to maintain a clean sheet in one of their last five matches. The key factor to watch will be whether Alaves can capitalize on Sociedad's defensive lapses, potentially tipping the scales in their favor in this crucial relegation battle.
