Team News

Deportivo Alaves
Girona
  • Samu sits this one out with a one-match ban, having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Valencia - Kike Garcia should replace him up top.
  • Andoni Gorosabel is out with a muscle injury, leaving a hole in the recently solid Alaves defence.
  • Rafa Marin could move out wide to facilitate the absence, whilst Nahuel Tenaglia continues as a makeshift centre-back.
  • Viktor Tsygankov managed just over an hour against Barcelona as he works his way back to peak fitness after injury - he is no longer a match doubt.
  • Savio and Cristhian Stuani are flagged with knocks, Savio having injured his calf against Barca. Now that Girona have achieved their UCL dream this season, the Brazilian starlet could be rested on Friday.

Prediction

  • Deportivo Alaves are on a three game win streak, impressively having kept a clean sheet in all of those matches - they welcome Girona to the north of Spain on Saturday night, who qualified for the Champions League by beating Barcelona last weekend.
  • With six goals in their last five matches, Alaves are in red hot form and could move into the top half of the table with a fourth consecutive victory on Friday night - their most successful run of the season. Girona could increase the one-point-gap over Barca with a victory if they can repeat the 3-0 win over Alaves when the two sides last faced off.
  • Alaves will be no pushovers here, and will create chances to hurt Girona, who themselves will need to resort to their outscoring their opponents tactic to take victory here.
