Prediction: 1-0
Las Palmas
After shocking Real Sociedad at Reale Arena, Deportivo Alaves will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Las Palmas on Matchday 4. The Basques have regained a much-needed confidence and, as a result, they are seen as favourites to win Sunday’s clash. Summer signing Stoichkov is widely expected to return to the starting XI, with former Porto attacker Toni Martinez pushing for a start as well after sealing the victory in the Basque derby.
La Union Deportiva, on the other hand, did remarkably well to hold star-studded Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw on Thursday evening, but it is well known that they struggle on the travels. Given Alaves’ fine display in the triumph over La Real, home triumph should definitely be considered. Both Adnan Januzaj and Jesus Crespo are injured for the visiting team, while Jaime Mata is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
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.
