Alaves, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Getafe will not have sat easily with the Alaves squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with 53% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Getafe managed 15 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Manager Luis García Plaza will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 12 games in a row.
Valencia, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Valencia players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Osasuna. Their share of possession in that meeting was 65%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Osasuna had 7 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
It's been a mixed run of form for Valencia recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Alaves sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 2-1.
Goals should be on the cards for Los Che in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Alavés in their last 15 meetings together.
In this away league fixture, Valencia has not won in the last 4 times they have played Alavés at The Estadio Mendizorrotza.
There is only really one injury concern for the Alavés manager Luis García Plaza ahead of this clash, with Giuliano Simeone (Sprained ankle) missing out, which gives García Plaza a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Marcos André (Meniscus) and Alberto Marí (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Rubén Baraja will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
