Alaves
Valencia will look to recover from a 4-2 loss to Barcelona when they take on Deportivo Alaves at their Estadio de Mestalla. Los Che failed to spoil Barca’s party at Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys, but it has to be noted that goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili was sent off on the stroke of half-time. As a result, fellow shot-stopper Jaume Domenech should be recalled to the starting XI against Alaves. Mouctar Diakhaby is sidelined with injury, while fellow defender Jose Gaya is a major doubt.
The Basques, on the other hand, defeated both Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo in front of home fans in the last two league matches, but given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered this time out. As for the Basque outfit, defender Abdel Abqar is back from suspension, whereas Luis Garcia Plaza has no fresh injury worries. The 51-year-old tactician is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Highlighted Team (Valencia):
Founded on March 18, 1919, Valencia FC are a Spanish football club that compete in La Liga. Los Che play their home games at Estadio de Mestalla, the stadium which was opened back in May, 1923. The capacity of the venue is 50,000. Seeing that bats are quite common in Valencia, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Bats.
Valencia made it to the Champions League final on two occasions (2000, 2001), but they were beaten in the title games by Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen respectively. The Spanish club, though, did well to win the UEFA Cup title in the 2003/2004 season, with the team beating Marseille in the final of the competition.
A number of top-class footballers were part of the club in the past, with the likes of Pablo Aimar, Ruben Baraja, David Albelda, Santiago Canizares, John Carew and Gaizka Mendieta all playing for the Estadio de Mestalla outfit. Valencia main colors are white and black, whilst they often where orange jerseys and shorts when playing on the travels.
