Team News

Deportivo Alaves
Granada
  • Centre-back partnership Aleksandar Sedlar and Abdel Aqbar are out with injuries, Nikola Maras and Rafa Marin should contribute to a make-shift back four.
  • No setbacks for the Alaves attack, though. Even long absentee and star striker Giuliano Simeone is expecting to be back to fitness by January.
  • Starlet Bryan Zaragoza is suspended for this one, he will serve a one match ban for accumulating two yellows in two matches.
  • Raul Torrente is out with a fresh injury. With Rubio and Vallejo also out, veteran Victor Diaz should start on Friday night.

Prediction

  • After the latest international break, La Liga returns to action this Friday at el Mendizorrotza as Deportivo Alaves host Granada.
  • Without the electric Bryan Zaragoza, who will miss out thanks to a suspension, the visitors will find it even harder to snatch those all important points away from home.
  • Paco Lopez's men have not won on the road yet this season, whilst Alaves' last loss at home came on October 1st against Osasuna.
  • It would seem sensible to predict a draw or an Alaves victory, but Granada have proven that their counter attacking football can do damage against vulnerable defences.
  • With Sedlar and Abqar both unavailable for Alaves, we could well see a smash and grab victory for the visitors...
