Team News

Deportivo Alaves
Las Palmas
  • Deportivo Alaves were able to take an important point on the road against Mallorca last Sunday. Ianis Hagi came off the bench in that one and should start at home against Las Palmas for some added attacking flare.
  • Ander Guevara and Antonio Blanco were key in that fixture to keeping order and protecting Alaves' youthful defence, they will be heavily relied upon again - perhaps in a double pivot - this time around.
  • The hosts play Terrassa in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday evening, and will likely rest their most important starting players in that clash.
  • Marvin Park should continue his fruitful spell on the left wing this weekend having picked up two assists against Getafe last Friday.
  • Alvaro Valles, who was trending on Twitter earlier this week for being 'the best pound for pound keeper in the league,' is looking to keep his second consecutive clean sheet for the club.

Prediction

  • Despite Las Palmas' high flying, impressive form in the league thus far, hosts Alaves have not lost to the Gran Canarians in the two's last six meetings (two wins, four draws). That said, Las Palmas have been able to control games very well under Garcia Pimienta's pressing philosophy.
  • Samu Omorodion and Luis Rioja, the most lively of the Alaves attack, could struggle to collaborate between the centre forward and wing areas due to the visitors' bombing back-and-forth wide men. Las Palmas also have the second best expected goals against ratio in the league, only inferior to Osasuna, and are hard to look away from as the favoured winners in this fixture.
