Latest team news for Alaves vs Real Sociedad
Alaves will be without defender Abdel Abqar, who risks missing the rest of the season with a hamstring injury sustained in the defeat to Real Madrid earlier this month.
However, defenders Santiago Mourinho and Manu Sanchez will return from suspension and are ready to play against Sociedad. Mourinho could replace Moussa Diarra in the center of defense, while Sanchez is expected to replace Aleksandar Sedlar on the left flank.
In attack, Kike Garcia continues to be Alaves' biggest hope with 12 goals in 30 La Liga matches this season.
On Real Sociedad's side, the visitors are likely to remain without Arsen Zakharyan, Alvaro Odriozola, Igor Zubeldia, and Ander Barrenetxea due to injury.
Nayef Aguerd has also missed the last three matches and his return for this away game is uncertain. Meanwhile, Orri Oskarsson is racing against time to recover from a minor injury that kept him out of the Villarreal game.
Good news for Sociedad: key midfielder Martin Zubimendi is ready to return after serving a suspension for accumulating too many yellow cards.

Latest football match prediction: Alaves vs Real Sociedad
Alaves are facing significant difficulties in their efforts to avoid relegation, currently sitting in the bottom group after winning only 7, drawing 10, and losing 15 of their 32 matches played this season.
Coach Eduardo Coudet's team has been inconsistent in recent rounds, with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 5 matches.
Following their 2-2 draw with Las Palmas, Alaves suffered two consecutive home defeats against Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid, sandwiched between a narrow 1-0 victory away at Girona. Most recently, they drew 1-1 with Sevilla on Sunday, with Kike Garcia equalizing after Peque opened early for the home side, extending Alaves' unbeaten away run to five matches (one win, four draws).
Despite securing one point, Alaves finished the weekend's matches just one point behind the safety zone, with only six games remaining in the season, against Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid, Athletic Club, Valencia, Real Valladolid, and Osasuna.
Following their 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad in the first leg in August, Alaves have the opportunity to complete a double against La Real in La Liga this season. However, that won't be easy, especially considering they have lost 4 of their last 5 home games (winning 1).
Real Sociedad currently have 12 wins, 6 draws and 14 losses after 32 rounds, entering the next round one point behind the top 8 and two points behind seventh place – a Europa League qualification spot.
Although eighth place would be enough to qualify for the Conference League, La Real clearly have higher ambitions, especially since they have finished in the top seven in all five of their most recent seasons.
Coach Imanol Alguacil's team has only lost 1 of their last 5 La Liga matches, but they have only managed to gain 1 point in the last 2 rounds.
Following their 0-2 home defeat to Mallorca, Sociedad were fortunate to secure a draw against Villarreal last weekend at the Estadio de la Ceramica, despite leading 2-1 thanks to a brace from Mikel Oyarzabal.
Ayoze Perez equalized in the 60th minute, after which Villarreal had three goals disallowed by VAR. Despite this, La Real extended their unbeaten away run in La Liga to three matches (one win, two draws).
Sociedad can be confident heading into their trip to Mendizorroza, as they have not lost in their last three visits there (1 win, 2 draws), including a 1-0 victory last season.
