Team News

Deportivo Alaves
Villarreal
  • Andoni Gorosabel returns from suspension and should play on Saturday against Villarreal.
  • Alex Sola was back in the starting eleven last week against Barcelona, meaning Carlos Vicente could drop back to the bench.
  • Samu Omorodion notched his eighth goal in 13 matches for Alaves against Barca, surely solidifying his importance up top for the club.
  • Alexander Sorloth was publicly criticised by his boss Marcelino for not making good on his chances to score and was hooked at half time. Jose Luis Morales will be waiting in the wings to take his spot.
  • Loanee from Aston Villa, Bertrand Traore, is recovering from a knock and should be available for the Alaves game, but Goncalo Guedes should be preferred from the left flank.

Prediction

  • Deportivo Alaves have won three games out of their last five, only losing to Athletic Club and Barcelona in that time frame. They welcome a rather underwhelming Villarreal side to the Mendizorrotza on Saturday afternoon in hopes they can continue their refreshing run of form in the league.
  • This one is a real six pointer, with only two points separating the sides in mid-table. A 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture could be indicative of the weekend's events, as the injury crisis at Villarreal and the rich vein of form for Alaves makes for an unpredictable fixture.
  • The visitors conceded three goals in their win over Barcelona and Alaves have scored eight goals in their last five matches. A home victory could be more likely here.
