Predicted Result : Real Sociedad 2 – 1 Alaves
Match Preview : The White and Blues will play in their familiar home condition. Thus the crowd support will keep them ahead mentally. Moreover, they have got the better of Alaves in the last 2 consecutive meetings. So they will go for all the 3 points from the home fixture.
On the contrary, Alaves will try to recall the 2018 memories, as in the previous year they defeated the Royals twice. However, considering it as an away clash, they may apply a defensive tactics. But they will also seek for the all 3 points from this encounter.
Coming to the prediction, firstly, I’m predicting a good tough battle between this two sides. I also back both the sides to score in this clash. Finally, my pick is a narrow victory for the home side.
