Recent meetings between these two Basque rivals have been competitive, with Alaves actually winning several recent encounters, although Real Sociedad claimed a 3-2 victory in their latest meeting in February 2026 (Copa del Rey). In fact, Alaves have recorded three consecutive league wins over Real Sociedad in recent seasons.
Real Sociedad team overview
Real Sociedad come into this match in relatively solid form, having won four of their last six matches in all competitions, including a 2-0 league victory over Levante in their most recent outing. The team has scored 46 league goals so far this season, averaging around 1.5 goals per match, with Mikel Oyarzabal emerging as their leading scorer (12 goals).
At home, they remain difficult to beat, going seven matches unbeaten at the Reale Arena, although defensive consistency remains a concern as they have struggled to keep clean sheets regularly.
Jon Martin has accumulated a significant number of yellow cards in previous matches, meaning he will have to sit this game out due to suspension. Meanwhile, Igor Zubeldia, Jon Gorrotxategi, Yangel Herrera, and Alvaro Odriozola are all sidelined with injuries.

Deportivo Alaves team overview
Deportivo Alaves arrive in weaker form, with their last six matches producing one win, two draws, and three defeats, including a 2-2 draw against Osasuna in their latest league game. They have scored 31 league goals this season, significantly fewer than Real Sociedad, with Lucas Boye (10 goals) leading the attacking line.
Overall, Alaves’ main challenge will be containing Real Sociedad’s attacking movement while finding enough offensive threat to capitalize on counterattacking opportunities. Carlos Benavidez and Boye are expected to miss Saturday’s game due to physical strains.

Prediction
Given Real Sociedad’s strong home record, steady scoring run, and Alaves’ defensive vulnerabilities, the most likely outcome is a Real Sociedad victory. However, Sociedad’s defensive issues at the Reale Arena are evident - they have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last ten league home outings.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (BTTS).
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- Real Sociedad conceded at least a goal in nine of their last ten league home fixtures.
- BTTS has been the outcome in the last two direct league meetings between Sociedad and Alaves.
- BTTS has landed in four of Alaves last five league away fixtures.
