Primera Division action takes place in San Sebastian on Saturday afternoon as Real Sociedad face struggling Real Oviedo.
The hosts make their return to Reale Arena after a painful defeat against Real Madrid last weekend, while Oviedo come into Saturday's fixture after a disappointing home setback against Athletic Bilbao last time out.
Oviedo pulled off a surprise win in the reverse fixture earlier this season, but they head into this clash as clear underdogs.

Real Sociedad team overview
Real Sociedad return to San Sebastian after a disappointing 4:1 defeat against Real Madrid seven days ago. Three goals conceded in the first-half ensured a long journey home for Pellegrino Matarazzo's side.
The Txuri-urdin had been in excellent form prior to their defeat at the Bernabéu, going 11 matches unbeaten and collecting seven victories during that run.
Strong in recent home performances, Sociedad won each of their last three La Liga games at Reale Arena, including a comfortable 3:1 win against Elche earlier this month.
Head coach Matarazzo has three potential absentees this weekend. Takefusa Kubo is ruled out, while Luka Sučić and Ander Barrenetxea are doubtful.

Real Oviedo team overview
Real Oviedo return to La Liga action after a narrow 2:1 home reversal against Athletic Bilbao last weekend. Despite taking a first-half lead, Los Azules were left empty-handed as Oihan Sancet's second-half goal secured the points for Bilbao.
Guillermo Almada's men have endured a tough season, with little sign of improvement in recent weeks. Oviedo sit bottom of La Liga with just 16 points picked up from 23 games this season.
Particularly poor on the road, Real have lost eight of their 11 away league matches this season, picking up just five points from those fixtures (W1, D2, L8).
Head coach Almada has three potential absentees this week. David Costas is ruled out, Ovie Ejaria is doubtful, while Santiago Colombatto is expected to miss out.
