The Babazorros saw the opportunity to have an interesting PLAYER who could make a difference. He had the misfortune in the pre-season with a serious injury that kept him out of the dry dock for AVERAGE.
Specifically, he suffered a fractured fibula and a dislocated ankle in a friendly match against Burgos CF. Finally, with Deportivo Alavés he played 14 league matches, in which he scored a Goal and gave two assists, being a decisive player in the last stretch of the season to certify the definitive salvation of Luis García's team. In fact, they tried to sign him on loan for another year, but were unable to do so.
Deportivo Alavés have a lot at stake against Los Rojiblancos
The Babazorros are playing for survival against Atlético de Madrid, who are looking to secure third place and to improve their chances of winning the title. Eduardo Coudet's side have been playing good games, picking up important points in their fight for salvation. They are currently one point above the relegation zone, where UD Las Palmas sit.
Deportivo Alavés are coming off a win at home to Real Sociedad and a draw at Sevilla FC. They have just one defeat in their last four games, and that was against Real Madrid, by zero goals to one. They reach the final stretch of the season in a good moment, with players like Antonio Blanco, Carlos Vicente, Santiago Mourinho, Antonio Sivera or Kike García in a great form, a fact that makes the fans from Vitoria optimistic.
For their part, the 'rojiblancos' are looking for a win to improve their chances of winning the LALIGA EA SPORTS, but above all to almost definitely secure third place in the competition, which is under threat from Athletic Club. Cholo Simeone's team has had ups and downs during the season, reaching the final stretch with few options to fight for the title, where they have had bad moments that have taken them out of the fight. But at times during the course of the season, they were the favourites and the most in-form team, so their quality cannot be disputed and they are sure to make things very difficult for Deportivo Alavés.
Players of the quality of Julián Álvarez or Alexander Sorloth will be a threat to the home team, as both are putting up big numbers in LALIGA EA SPORTS, with 15 and 13 goals scored respectively.
