THE PREDICTION

It is a Basque derby to kick off 2022. Alaves finished 2021 with an entertaining 5-2 defeat to Villarreal prior to Christmas and the winter break. That loss made it four defeats in five matches in all competitions. They sit firmly in the relegation battle after a low-scoring start. They come up against a Real Sociedad side that have gone off the boil, for the third successive season, after a very strong start to the campaign. La Real have themselves struggled for goals, despite a plethora of attacking options. A low-scoring derby match is expected.
