A place in the Copa del Rey semi-finals is up for grabs on Wednesday night when Deportivo Alaves welcome Real Sociedad to Mendizorroza for a rare quarter-final Basque derby. Alaves come into this tie full of confidence after their recent La Liga comeback win over Espanyol , a result that underlined their growing solidity and belief this season, as reported by SoftFootball .
That victory has strengthened the feeling that Mendizorroza is becoming a tough stop for any visiting side. Real Sociedad, meanwhile, arrive unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions and fresh from settling into life with Wesley joining the squad , as recently confirmed by SoftFootball.
Despite injury issues, La Real have shown resilience in big moments, including their dramatic Copa del Rey penalty win over Osasuna, and they travel knowing their away record in this competition is impressive.
