Alaves host Basque rivals in Copa del Rey

Alaves and Real Sociedad meet in Basque derby in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday and both of these sides come into this game in decent form.

Sociedad held on for a 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao over the weekend despite being reduced to 10 men late on, extending their unbeaten run to eight games across all competitions.

Alaves picked up a 2-1 win at Espanyol in their last La Liga game and now have three wins in their last four games.

La Real sit three points above their hosts in La Liga but Alaves have enjoyed the better of the recent meetings between these two Basque sides, winning each of the last three head-to-head games.

This is likely to be a close game between two fairly evenly matched sides so the best angle looks to be backing goals at both ends.

Both teams scoring has been a regular occurrence for Sociedad recently with goals at both ends in each of their last nine games, while they have just one clean sheet in 15.

Alaves have scored in 11 of their 13 home games this season but have also managed just three clean sheets themselves so both of these teams look capable of scoring.

The Babazorros may have enjoyed the better of the recent head-to-head clashes but Sociedad have been in great form on their travels with just one defeat in their last 10 trips. These in-form sides may cancel each other out and a 1-1 draw has a chance, as Sociedad have conceded exactly one goal in five successive away games – scoring six themselves over that period. Alaves, meanwhile, have only conceded more than one goal on two occasions at home all season.
