Team Form Analysis
In La Liga's recent fixtures, Alavés have displayed commendable form, securing three wins and a draw in their last four league matches. They achieved a convincing 5-2 victory against Osasuna and a solid 1-0 win over Villarreal. In contrast, Valencia's form has been less stable, with three consecutive losses, including a heavy 0-5 defeat to Barcelona. Their only positive result in recent times was a 3-1 win against Barcelona in May.
Player Insights
Alavés will look to Lucas Boyé, who has been in fine form with a high player rating of 7.67. Meanwhile, Valencia may have to contend with the possible absence of Umar Sadiq, who has been instrumental in their attack. Reports suggest that Sadiq, who scored the winning goal in a previous match against Athletic Bilbao, is doubtful for upcoming international duties, which could impact his availability for this fixture.
