Prediction: 1-0
Alaves
Following three consecutive defeats in La Liga, Real Sociedad will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Deportivo Alaves at their Estadio Municipal de Anoeta. La Real just can’t find their rhythm, but Friday’s Basque derby could be the turning point for the hosts. One of the men to watch in the home team will be pacey winger Adnan Januzaj, who is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition defenders. Deportivo Alaves, on the other hand, have been producing fine performances in the first half of the season and, as a result, they sit in the top half of the La Liga standings. Los Babazorros are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in Monday’s football game, but seeing that Real Sociedad are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on Willian Jose and his teammates as they want this win more than the visitors.

Highlighted Player (Mikel Oyarzabal):
Intelligence is not an attribute you will find in Mikel Oyarzabal’s stats with Real Sociedad but this tricky winger is a highly knowledgeable winger who will use both brain and feet while playing. For a player born in Eibar, who made his first steps in his hometown club, it was always going to be a choice between Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad for Oyarzabal.
La Real saw their chance and grabbed this gem of a player at a young age, helping him develop into a proper professional throughout their youth ranks. Mikel Oyarzabal has spent the entirety of his senior career with the Basque behemoths where he’d use his ability to fill in a number of positions up top much to his own benefit.
Oyarzabal’s positioning and movement are work of a tactical genius, whereas it is his nous to find details to exploit that best define him as a player. Having come through the youth categories of the Spanish national team, Oyarzabal also has a senior cap next to his name. It was in 2016 that he also represented the Basque region, scoring on his debut to cap a 3-1 win over Tunisia.
Highlighted Team (Alaves):
Alaves is a Spanish football club located in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alava. The club were founded in 1921 and they play their home games at Estadio Mendizorrotza. The capacity of the stadium is 19,840 and it has to be noted that it is the third oldest stadium in Spanish football. After spending several years in the Spanish Segunda Division, los Babazorros returned to the top flight in 2016.
The color of Alaves’ home kit is blue and white and the club’s local rivals are fellow Basque sides Real Sociedad, Athletic Club, Osasuna and Eibar. Alaves made it to the UEFA CUP final in 2001, but they were beaten by Liverpool 5-4 in a thrilling football clash. Anyhow, that is still regarded as the club’s biggest success. Los Babazorros booked their place in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on four occasions and they have yet to win the Primera Division trophy.
