Draw • 3.54

The second game this Friday in La Liga is a Basque derby at Real Sociedad’s Anoeta. Alaves are the visitors hoping to avenge two defeats against La Real last term. It is the visitors who are having the better season overall but on paper, they have less all-round quality than their regional rivals and they are still the clear underdogs heading into this match.
This is a pretty tough game to call. It’s hard to see any value in backing Sociedad at around 3/4 given they average just 0.86 points per home game this term. Only Huesca have picked up fewer home points and Sociedad were beaten by newly promoted Real Valladolid in their most recent outing on home soil. A 1-0 defeat at Getafe last weekend was their latest setback so confidence is unlikely to be high in the home camp.
The local derby aspect adds an extra bit of spice and overall a fairly scrappy game looks likely between two sides that won’t be particularly high on belief. Backing the Draw could be the best move in the Full-Time Result market.

Real Sociedad Win • 1.79

Real Sociedad will defeat Alavès tonight as the visitors s***ggle to shape up away from their home.
Not many goals are expected tonight but the host surely has what it takes to pocket all the 3 available points tonight.
Stake what you can lose as I smile to the bank after 90 minutes.

Real Sociedad Win • 1.8

Real Sociedad have lost their last 3 matches and so is Alaves and after a phenomenal start to the campaign, Alaves have now won just one of their last six La Liga matches.

I see a home win here
