Deportivo Alaves host Valencia at the Estadio de Mendizorroza in a Tuesday night La Liga fixture. The match, kicking off at 9:00 PM local time, pits a home side in strong form against a visiting team searching for its first win of the campaign.
Alaves enter this sixth matchday sitting fourth in the table with 10 points from six games. Their record stands at three wins, one draw, and two defeats, averaging nearly two goals per game. Lucas Boyé is their top scorer with four goals in five appearances, a key figure for the Basque attack. The team managed by Luis García Plaza aims to stays in the upper reaches of the standings.
In contrast, Valencia is enduring a difficult spell. The Che team has gathered just one point from five matches, scoring only once while conceding ten goals. Their recent run of form marks them as one of the competition's most blunt attacking sides.
Probable lineups
Alaves are likely to deploy their familiar 3-5-2 system. Antonio Sivera would start in goal, shielded by a back three of Nahuel Tenaglia, Ville Koski, and Jonny Otto. The midfield engine room would feature Antonio Blanco, Carles Aleñà, and Pablo Ibañez, with the attacking thrust coming from Ángel Pérez, Abderrahman Rebbach, and the strike pairing of Lucas Boyé and Toni Martínez.
Valencia, for their part, would probably line up with Stole Dimitrievski in goal. Arnau Martínez, Iker Cordoba, Justin de Haas, and Jesús Vázquez would form the defence. The midfield would rely on Javi Guerra and Filip Ugrinic, with the creative spark provided by Harvey Elliott, David Otorbi, and Ryunosuke Sato.
The match represents a golden opportunity for Alaves to claim three points at home against a struggling direct rival. A win would allow them to maintain pressure on the teams above them. The squad then faces a tough trip to San Mamés to take on ninth-placed Athletic Club. Fans can check the full schedule on our fixtures page and the squad status on squad.
