Luis Garcia's side continue to struggle in the league, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Saturday. Alaves have lost all but one of their last eight matches, with a 1-0 victory over Mallorca on November 1 being the exception.
They have 13 points from 14 games to sit 16th in the standings, one point and two places below Leganes, wh were no match for a star-studded Real Madrid side in a 3-0 hammering at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque at the weekend.
That followed a 1-0 win over 10-man Sevilla, with Miguel de la Fuente netting an 82nd-minute penalty to hand Borja Jimenez’s men a hard-earned victory. Leganes, though, are winless in eight league matches this season.
