After Alaves managed to retain its place in the elite championship with some difficulty and a bit of luck, no conclusions were made and the management relied on those who were in the team’s cage in the last championship. The start of the current season was one of the worst for the team in recent years. The first six rounds brought “glorious” five defeats in a row. In the sixth round, the Basques rallied and managed to outplay not just anyone, but the reigning champion in their field. In the last game, the blue-white defeated Cadiz (2:0) away and took the 18th position with six points. However, success in this duel can lead the team to the safety zone.
Real Sociedad fully retained their roster following the results of the last La Liga championship, where they performed very well, for which they received a ticket to the Europa League. After three rounds of the current championship of the second strongest club tournament in Europe, the “royal” chalked up one victory and two peaceful outcomes, which was enough to settle with five points in the second position. In the last game the Basques defeated Sturm away (1:0). During the nine rounds of the current La Liga championship, the “white-blue” recorded six successful games and two draws, which brought 20 points and the first position in the Primera, for which few could have predicted. After the world in a duel with Getafe (1:1), the hosts managed to break the resistance of Mallorca (1:0) at home. Today will not be able to enter the field Montreal, Munoz, Oyarzabal, Rico, Sola, Subimendi and Fernandez, who has a grass knee.
