Deportivo Alavés face Athletic Club this Saturday at San Mamés for the seventh matchday of LaLiga EA Sports. The match kicks off at 16:15 and marks the Vitoria side's return to league action after their fixture against Levante was postponed due to heavy rain in Valencia.
The red-and-white side, managed by Edin Terzić, host an Alavés team sitting sixth in the table with 11 points from seven games. Alavés's last win was a convincing 5-2 against Osasuna, though they fell 0-1 to Valencia in their most recent outing. Luis Boyé, with four goals in six appearances, is the team's top scorer this season.
Athletic Club posted a message on social media rallying their fans for the derby. "¡A por el derbi, leones!#AthleticAlavés #AthleticClub 🦁," the club said.
