Real Sociedad vs Alaves Prediction & Betting Tips (28 August)

This season, Real Sociedad will very clearly aim for the European folding seats because that is the bare minimum for a club of this caliber. However, for its baptism of fire at home in this new campaign, the Basque team fell to Rayo Vallecano 1-2. Fortunately, it recovered the following day, last weekend on the pitch of the promoted side, Espanyol Barcelona 0-1.

Deportivo Alaves had a fairly consistent transfer window but we have the impression that there are gaps in the offensive sector following the departure of Samu Omorodion at the end of his loan, he who finished top scorer in the squad last year in La Liga. During the first day, traveling to Balaidos, the Basques fell against Vigo 2-1 while last weekend, they were unable to delight their supporters against Real Bétis in a match without visiting 0-0 .

A player with great potential but often injured, Ander Barrenetxea is once again on the sidelines and his presence this evening seems strongly in question. Same case for Zakharyan, Odriozola, and the important Zubeldia. In the box of the uncertain, let's talk about Jon Pacheco and Elustondo, both physically hampered according to the latest medical information from the club. Used off the bench against Espanyol, the Japanese crack Kubo took it personally and gave his team victory in the last ten minutes of play. In terms of the transfer window, it's difficult not to mention the departure of the crucial Merino (Arsenal), the titular central Robin Le Normand (Atlético Madrid), the too often absent due to injury, Merquelanz (Eibar, D2), Alex Sola and Diego Rico (both to Getafe in the form of transfer) without forgetting those not retained from their respective loans, Tierney (Arsenal) and Javi Galan (Atlético). In terms of arrivals, the Basque club still attracted Luka Sucic (Salzburg), Javi Lopez (Alaves), and Sergio Gomez (Man City). Excluded in the final moments against Real Bétis, Sedlar will logically miss the call for this short trip. In addition, Tenaglia (holder) would be highly doubtful about his state of physical health (uncertain this evening). 2nd hard blow for Alaves in the transfer window, after the return of Omorodion from loan to Atlético, it was Luis Rioja, providential man of the promotion two years ago who set sail to join Valencia for only 1 .

2 million euros. We will not forget to mention the loss of Giuliano Simeone (return from loan) and Rafa Marin (return from loan to Real Madrid). The important Ruben Duarte signed in Mexico while Xeber Alkain (Eibar, free) and Parada (loaned to Mirandes) also took flight. Same thing for Hagi (end of loan) and Gorosabel (Bilbao) who are among the big losses. In terms of recruitment, the Basque club brought in Martin Carlos (Atlético Madrid), Luka Romero (AC Milan) and Manu Sanchez (Celta Vigo) on loan. Also arriving were Hugo Ramos (RB Leipzig), Moussa Diarra (Toulouse), the young Julen Lartitegi (free), the confirmed scorer Stoichkov (12 goals, 7 assists in D2 last year) and Tomas Conechny (Godoy Cruz). Villalibre was loaned for an additional season from Bilbao.
