Real Sociedad host Deportivo Alaves at Reale Arena, Donostia-San Sebastián on Sunday, Mar 21 at 3:00 PM in the LaLiga.

Real Sociedad come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Deportivo Alaves travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Real Sociedad won their last outing, while Deportivo Alaves suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Real Sociedad and Deportivo Alaves have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 3–3 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Real Sociedad clear favorites, but Deportivo Alaves have shown they can grind out results. Expect Real Sociedad to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
