Prediction

  • Sociedad have recorded 0-0 draws in their last three games in La Liga and need to turn their form around going into the New Year if they want to stay in and around the Champions League spots.
  • Alaves were in the midst of a little purple patch come mid-December, but have now lost their last three games in the league thanks to a really tough run of fixtures. The challenge won't let up against the hosts on Tuesday evening either as the club teeter on the brinks of the relegation zone.
  • Sociedad haven't lost to Alaves in the two's last six meetings, and an upset isn't likely in this new year opener.
