The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of important fixtures this weekend as Valencia take on a struggling Deportivo Alaves side at the Estadio Mestalla on Sunday.
Deportivo Alaves vs Valencia Preview
Valencia are currently in 11th place in the La Liga standings and have been shockingly poor in recent weeks. Los Che played out a 0-0 draw with Real Sociedad in their previous La Liga game and will need to be more clinical to take three points away from this fixture.
Deportivo Alaves, on the other hand, are in 19th place in the league table at the moment and are on the brink of relegation. The Basque outfit slumped to a damaging 3-1 defeat against Elche last week and cannot afford a similar result in this game.
