CD Alaves VS Real Sociedad

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-2 in favor of Real Sociedad.
Real Sociedad's possession-based approach will likely dominate territorial control, but Alavés' physical midfield and set-piece efficiency present counter-threat opportunities. Alavés may employ compact defensive shape with rapid transitions. Discipline crucial as Alavés accumulate cards at higher rate. Match intensity expected given mid-table stakes and direct playing styles.
Real Sociedad's superior current form, higher scoring record, and recent unbeaten run provide significant advantage. However, Alavés' home record, recent head-to-head victory, and set-piece threat provide meaningful home advantage factor. Weather conditions and injury status of key performers will influence execution of tactical plans.
