Two teams on opposite ends of the LaLiga spectrum will clash at Mendizorroza on Wednesday, as relegation-threatened Alaves welcome European hopefuls Real Sociedad.

In a clash with a fellow struggler, Alaves put up a resilient fight to snatch a point from a tricky trip to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan by holding Sevilla to a 1-1 draw, but that hard-earned result wasn't enough to lift them out of the relegation zone.

In what turned out to be a thrilling rollercoaster of a contest, Real Sociedad came from behind to seize the lead before ultimately settling for a share of the spoils in a captivating four-goal draw away at Villarreal, which left them sitting ninth just a point shy of the European spots.

Deportivo Alaves vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips : BTTS

With both teams targeting a crucial three-point haul to boost their ambitions at opposite ends of the table, we expect an open and attacking contest where the back of the net should ripple on both sides with relative ease. The team under Eduardo Coudet has rediscovered their offensive spark in recent weeks, and with Real Sociedad’s rearguard leaking goals and their last shutout dating all the way back to a 3-0 rout of Leganes in late February, the hosts will surely feel they have the firepower to do damage. The defensive woes of Txuri-Urdin have been particularly exposed away from home, since they’ve recorded just a single shutout across 12 trips this year and have been breached at least twice in a worrying eight of their most recent ten away games. However, it should also be noted that Sociedad’s attack has been operating at full throttle, having bagged two or more goals in all but one of their last six outings across all formats, which makes us think they won’t struggle too much to breach Alaves’ defensive setup. In a clash between two leaky defenses both desperate for three points, the goalkeepers should be in for a busy evening, and it’s genuinely hard to envision a scenario where either net stays untouched.
