Alaves vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting tips
Alaves :
Alaves keeps stunts. The candidate triumphed 1-2 at Malaga last week and reported through this spanking casually in the top half. The blue whites ceiling seems for the time being not yet in sight.
The team of Alaves is well put together and is especially in conditional terms strong. This is particularly evident from the fact that the team of coach Pellegrino scored remarkably often lately in the last fifteen minutes of the game. In the first half of the season was often quite different and Alaves had often struggled to stay in the final stage in the lesson. Since its victory in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey at Celta Vigo however, it seems that the Basques have switched over this psychological barrier. Both against Valencia (2-1), Sevilla (1-1) as against Malaga (1-2 win) Alaves scored at least once in the last quarter. Still nice when you know you have a game can also decide in the final stage.
With the cup final still to come the season Alaves anyway can not go wrong. A slight decrease would in itself is logical, but so far Pellegrino knows his men to keep sharp. He must this weekend some puzzling, because with Ruano and Feddal (both suspended) he must miss two best defenders.
Probable lineup Alaves
Pacheco; Theo Hernandez, Ely, Laguardia, Femenia; Manu Garcia Llorente; Ibai, Camarasa, Toquero; Deyverson
Real Sociedad :
Also, Real Sociedad is having a great season, because for the first time since making the Basques again serious chance of European football. Even qualifying for the Champions League is still a possibility, though off the blue whitewash himself last week’s ugly in the fingers by losing 0-2 at home audience of fellow countryman Athletic Bilbao. However, against Alaves get the men of coach Eusebio a chance at rehabilitation.
Real Sociedad feels this season in away matches as a fish in water, because the Basques hold outdoors as much points as in their own Anoeta (24 to 24). The blue whites leave, however, are mainly football this year in top competitions, for the nine matches against Spanish top seven produced a total of only four points. In itself not so strange, because under Eusebio Real Sociedad tries typically itself to make the game. Against clubs like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid walk you soon at the knife, but against lower placed clubs this is often the way to attract the game to you.
Probable lineup Real Sociedad
Rulli; Yuri, Inigo Martinez, Navas, Odriozola; Zurutuza, Markel, Prieto; Oyarzabal, Juanmi, Vela
