Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Alaves will be aiming to put an end to their seven-game winless run in Primera Division when they take on Almeria at Estadio Mendizorrotza on Sunday. The Basques failed to spoil Atletico Madrid’s party at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course in La Liga. Forward Giuliano Simeone remains in the treatment room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the national championship and given their shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s showdown. Both Mendes and Arribas are pushing for a start, as well as Largie Ramazani, who scored as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Las Palmas. All Ibrahima Kone, Luis Suarez, Marc Pubill, and Martin Svidersky remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Alaves):
Alaves is a Spanish football club located in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alava. The club were founded in 1921 and they play their home games at Estadio Mendizorrotza. The capacity of the stadium is 19,840 and it has to be noted that it is the third oldest stadium in Spanish football. After spending several years in the Spanish Segunda Division, los Babazorros returned to the top flight in 2016.
The color of Alaves’ home kit is blue and white and the club’s local rivals are fellow Basque sides Real Sociedad, Athletic Club, Osasuna and Eibar. Alaves made it to the UEFA CUP final in 2001, but they were beaten by Liverpool 5-4 in a thrilling football clash. Anyhow, that is still regarded as the club’s biggest success. Los Babazorros booked their place in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on four occasions and they have yet to win the Primera Division trophy.
