Prediction: 1-0
Alaves
Rayo Vallecano will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Mallorca when they take on Deportivo Alaves in the La Liga round 11. Los Vallecanos are four points behind the Conference League berth and they are seen as slim favourites in Saturday’s clash. Both Alfonso Espino and Diego Mendez continue to miss out with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Basques, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their four-game losing run in the national championship, home win should definitely be considered. Last time out Rayo defeated Alaves 2-0 in the suburbs of Madrid, which backs our earlier prediction. Both Abdel Abqar and Kike are banned for the visiting side, while both Aleksandar Sedlar and Hugo Novoa miss out with injuries. Former Sevilla midfielder Joan Jordan is widely expected to return to the starting eleven.
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.
