Oyarzabal and Guedes Benched as Alavés Makes Minimal Change

San Sebastián, 11 April — Pellegrino Matarazzo made rotation decisions ahead of the LaLiga EA Sports ‘Jornada Retro’ match. Quique Sánchez Flores made only one change to his Alavés side for the game at Anoeta.

Oyarzabal and Guedes were benched, and Alavés made minimal changes to its lineup. The hosts showed a noticeably alternative starting eleven.

Real Sociedad selection

Matarazzo opted for a compact midfield. Óskarsson led the attack.

  • Remiro
  • Aramburu
  • Caleta-Car
  • Aritz Elustondo
  • Sergio Gómez
  • Turrientes
  • Soler
  • Sucic
  • Brais Méndez
  • Barrenetxea
  • Óskarsson

Alavés selection

Sánchez Flores largely repeated his previous starting XI. Abde Rebbach replaced Yusi on the left flank.

  • Sivera
  • Ángel Pérez
  • Otto
  • Tenaglia
  • Parada
  • Abde
  • Blanco
  • Ibáñez
  • Guridi
  • Toni Martínez
  • Diabaté

Player notes

Aritz Elustondo started for the first time under Matarazzo. Barrenetxea and Caleta-Car returned to the eleven.

Both had been substituted last week due to cramps. Diabaté kept his place up front.

Boyé sat on the bench because of slight discomfort. Coaches chose stability and caution for both sides.
