The upcoming Basque derby at the Real Arena will see Real Sociedad and Alaves meet. A tense game is expected, with both teams looking to prove their strength and ambitions this season.

Real Sociedad did not start the season as planned. After an unexpected defeat to Rayo Vallecano at home, they were able to rehabilitate themselves by beating Espanyol. Despite the loss of key players such as Mikel Merino and Robin Le Normand, Imanol Alguacil's team maintains its fighting spirit and continues to demonstrate its class. It is especially worth mentioning Take Kubo, who brought victory to the team with his decisive action in the last match.

Alaves, on the other hand, have not yet found their game, but have shown potential. Luis García Plaza's team has not achieved victories, but has already demonstrated that it can be the surprise of the season. An interesting transfer campaign has brought in a number of promising players and although they need time to adapt, Alaves have already shown character in matches against Celta and Betis.
