"El Glorioso were expected to fight for survival in La Liga last season, and they did extremely well by finishing 15th in the standings. Alaves were very busy in the summer transfer window and have strengthened their squad a lot. Youssef Enriquez, Carles Alena, Jonny Otto, Pablo Ibanez, Raul Fernandez and Cabela are the new players in Eduardo Coudet's side. They are now 10th in the La Liga table with 11 points from eight matches, four points behind fourth-placed Real Betis."
"Alaves are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Valencia in La Liga this weekend. Antonio Sivera will be the goalkeeper for Alaves. Jonny, Nahuel Tenaglia, Jon Pacheco and Youssef Lekhedim will be the four defenders. Antonio Blanco and Pablo Ibanez will be the two holding midfielders. Calebe, Lucas Boye and Abde Rebbach will be the three attacking midfielders. Toni Martinez will lead the line for Alaves."
Alaves and Valencia will meet in La Liga at Campo de Fútbol de Mendizorrotza with kickoff at 8pm UK next Monday. Deportivo Alaves earned promotion via the Segunda Division playoffs and then secured survival by finishing 15th. Alaves sit 10th with 11 points from eight matches, four points behind fourth-placed Real Betis. The club added Youssef Enriquez, Carles Alena, Jonny Otto, Pablo Ibanez, Raul Fernandez and Cabela during the summer. Alaves come into the match after a 3-1 win over Elche and are likely to use a 4-2-3-1 with Toni Martinez leading the line. Valencia are a historically big club that must improve after recent mid-table finishes, including ninth in 2023-24 and 12th most recently.
