Team News

Valencia
Deportivo Alaves
  • Maxi Gomez is back available after suspension for Valencia and should immediately return to the front line.
  • Thierry Correia is sidelined with a sprained ankle, so Daniel Wass and Yunus Musah should feature down Los Che's right-hand side.
  • Carlos Soler is still a doubt with an adductor problem, but the Spaniard is still expected to start in central midfield.
  • Ruben Duarte is injured for the weekend, so Martin Aguirregabiria should feature at left-back for Alaves.
  • Luis Rioja is expected to feature wide on the left-hand side rather than Pere Pons.
  • Jota should be preferred to Edgar Mendez on the right wing for Javi Calleja's side this time out.

Prediction

  • Valencia are winless in their last four in La Liga, dropping valuable points against some teams they would expect to beat.
  • The hosts have also conceded two goals or more in those last four games, showing that they are leaking at the back.
  • Alaves have taken back-to-back wins in their last two games under new boss Calleja, showing that they still have some relegation fight in them yet.
