Alavés looks to improve its level in its fourth preseason match
Deportivo Alavés will face CD Castellón in its fourth preseason match, looking to improve its level after two wins and a draw in its previous three matches. The albinegros have come from a 3-3 draw against Girona and a 2-0 win against Sabadell, both teams from the Liga Hypermotion, and Valencia (1-2).
What has happened?
The match will be played at the Royalverd Training Center in Gerona and will be closed-door, where the 'orelluts' are making this week a preseason concentration. Additionally, Castellón has the absence of Fabrizio Brignani, who will be out for several weeks due to a serious knee injury.
Why it matters for Alavés
The preseason concentration of Castellón serves to unify the group after the arrival of new signings: Amir Saipi, Juanjo Nieto, Fran Castillo, Hamza Bellari, Álvaro Martín, Íñigo Córdoba, Jari Vlack, Rodrigo Rêgo, David Nzanza, Iago Parente and Antonio Gala.
What comes next?
The match will be a good test for Alavés, which seeks to improve its level and prepare for the regular season. The preseason concentration of Castellón is a good moment for Alavés to face a team of superior category and test its strength.
Alavés, which finished last season in 17th place in the league, has scored 35 goals and received 46 in the current season, with a balance of -11 in the goal difference. The regular season starts soon, and Alavés seeks to improve its position in the table.
Alavés' next fixture is on February 28, 2027, when they will face Getafe in a league match.
