The Spanish La Liga continues with the matches of the nineteenth round already on the second day of the new year. In one of the games scheduled for Tuesday, Real Sociedad will welcome Alaves, and although the host is the favorite in this duel, he will have to justify that role on the field. Real Sociedad has become one of the more consistent teams in the Spanish La Liga, recording better and better results from season to season. The best proof of that is their placement in the Champions League and the fact that they finished the group stage of the most elite European competition in first place. This information gains additional importance if we know that their rivals in the group were Inter, Benfica and Salzburg. Sociedad's last defeat in all competitions was against Barcelona at the beginning of November, when they lost 0:1 with a goal in the 92nd minute of the match, and since then they have registered five triumphs and five draws. What is interesting is that Sociedad's last three matches have ended 0:0 and the duel with Alaves is an ideal opportunity to end the scoreless streak. With 18 goals conceded, they are the second best defense in the league, which speaks volumes about the strength of their defense. On the other hand, with 14 goals scored, Alaves is the most ineffective team in the league and it is clear that they will have a hard time getting chances today. Fans of the visiting team cannot be satisfied with the results of their pets in the first eighteen rounds, considering that Alaves are in 16th place in the table, three points above Celta Vigo, who are in the relegation zone. The performances of Alaves' players have also been at a low level lately, and after a 3:1 triumph over Granada and a draw with Mallorca, three consecutive defeats followed (Las Palmas 0:1, Girona 3:0 and Real Madrid 0:1). . In addition, it should be noted that Alaves has not shaken the rival's net for more than a month, and considering that they are visiting Sociedad in this round, there is a high probability that that series will be extended for at least another week. Real Sociedad will use the break in the Champions League to fully devote themselves to their duties in the national championship. Given that the host needs points in order to stay in the fight for the top 4 places, I expect a maximally motivated Sociedad. Although, on the other hand, Alaves desperately needs a win to move away from the danger zone, I believe that the difference in quality is too great and that the guests will not be able to return from San Sebastian undefeated.

西甲联赛的第19轮比赛已经在新年的第二天开始。在周二的一场比赛中，皇家社会将迎来阿拉维斯，虽然东道主是这场对决的热门，但他必须在球场上证明自己的角色。皇家社会已经成为西甲最稳定的球队之一，一个赛季一个赛季的成绩越来越好。最好的证明就是他们在欧冠的位置，以及他们以第一名的成绩完成了欧洲最精英赛事的小组赛。如果我们知道他们在小组中的对手是国际米兰、本菲卡和萨尔茨堡，那么这个信息就显得更加重要了。Sociedad在各项赛事中的最后一次失利是在11月初对阵巴塞罗那的比赛中，当时他们在比赛的第92分钟就以0比1输掉了比赛，从那以后他们取得了5胜5平的战绩。有意思的是，Sociedad最近三场比赛都以0:0结束，与阿拉维斯的对决是结束零连胜的理想机会。丢了18个球，他们的防守在联赛中排名第二，这充分说明了他们的防守实力。另一方面，攻入14球的阿拉维斯是联赛中效率最低的球队，很明显他们今天很难获得机会。考虑到阿拉维斯在积分榜上排名第16位，比降级区的维戈塞尔塔高出3分，客队球迷对他们的宠物在前18轮的表现并不满意。阿拉维斯的球员们最近的表现也不太好，在3:1战胜格拉纳达和战平马洛卡之后，连续三场失利(拉斯帕尔马斯0:1，赫罗纳3:0，皇家马德里0:1)。此外，值得注意的是，阿拉维斯已经有一个多月没有动摇对手的网了，考虑到他们在本轮比赛中做客社会，这个系列赛很有可能会延长至少一周。皇家社会将利用欧冠的休息时间，全力投入到全国联赛中。考虑到东道主需要积分才能继续争夺前四名，我预计Sociedad会有最大的动力。虽然，另一方面，阿拉维斯迫切需要一场胜利，以摆脱危险区域，我相信在质量上的差距太大，客人将无法从圣塞巴斯蒂安不败归来。
