Deportivo Alaves will host Real Betis at the Estadio de Mendizorroza on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 La Liga campaign.
The home side have not had the smoothest return to the Spanish top-flight so far this season and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were beaten 2-0 by Osasuna in their last match conceding a goal either side of a red card to midfielder Antonio Blanco as they fell to a fourth consecutive La Liga defeat to Los Rojillos.
Deportivo Alaves sit 17th in the league table with seven points from eight games. They will be looking to shake off their latest result and pull clear of the relegation spots this weekend.
Real Betis, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league this season although they remain in contention for the European spots. They returned to winning ways in the league last weekend with a 3-0 win over Sevilla and then built on that with a 2-1 victory over Sparta Praha in the Europa League on Thursday.
The visitors sit seventh in the table with 12 points picked so far and will be looking to add to that tally on Sunday.
