Valencia looking to maintain their unbeaten run
Having finished in the bottom half of the La Liga table, Valencia are eager to have a better season. The six-time La Liga winners are looking for a victory in this match. Incidentally, that would match their start in the 2014-15 season. That was the last season Valencia finished top four in La Liga. Notably, Valencia have won one UEFA Cup and the Cup Winners’ Cup.
Despite winning against Getafe 1-0, Valencia were outplayed by their opponents. In fact, coach Jose Bordalas’ team had just 26% of ball possession and only four-goal attempts. However, it was better in the second match away to Granada. The Bats couldn’t convert their seven shots at goal to more than just one goal. In conclusion, there need to be some improvements in Valencia’s game.

However, Alaves escaped relegation last season and finished 16th. Moreover, things don’t look so bright this season as well. Coach Javier Calleja’s team lost both of their opening matches. Alaves were up against Real Madrid in their first match who were too much for the Basques to handle. In the second match, they were up against newly-promoted Mallorca and despite a relatively better display, Alaves still lost.
