- Competition: La Liga
- Date: Friday, 24th November 2023
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Estadio Mendizorrotza (Vitoria-Gasteiz)
On Friday evening, Alaves and Granada, two teams that played in La Liga 2 last season, will face off at Estadio Mendizorrotza in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
Alaves missed the direct promotion last season by only one point and had to go through the playoffs to secure La Liga this season. Luckily, they did great in the playoffs and secured it anyway. This season, they will most likely be among teams that will get involved in the relegation battle, but for now, they are keeping themselves away from the danger zone. After 13 rounds, they are 15th, five points more than Granada and the relegation zone.
Granada had a similar path as Alaves in the last few seasons. But unlike Alaves, Granada didn't have to go through the playoffs, considering they finished 1st in La Liga 2 last season. However, this season is not going according to plan for the popular Nazaríes. They are in 19th place with seven points, two away from the safe zone, and Granada played one game more than Mallorca and Cadiz, who are above the relegation zone.
Alaves vs Granada pick: Alaves to win
Alaves have not been great this season, but lately, they did fine, losing only twice in the last six games. And those losses are undoubtedly the ones they can afford since they came on the road vs Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. At home, Alaves have been solid and won three of six games. So far, 83% of their points were won at Estadio Mendizorrotza - 10 of the total 12 points.
Granada won just once in 14 games this season. That win came against Mallorca in a very close match where Mallorca missed the penalty. So, we could easily see them without a win for the entire season. They have been bad the whole season, but their road record has been particularly bad as they lost six of seven games, including a cup game vs the Tercera team - Arosa SC. In the last three road games, they even failed to score, and we cannot say they had a too difficult schedule.
Considering what we saw from these teams this season, along with Alaves' solid form and Granada's terrible road record, we think that Alaves are closer to winning the upcoming La Liga game.

Granada team news
One of the team's best players, Bryan Zaragoza, is suspended and unavailable for the Alaves game. The 22-year-old winger has scored five and assisted two goals, and participated in 39% of Granada's goals. His absence will be a massive blow for the team.
Due to injuries, Raul Fernandez, Miguel Rubio, and Jesus Vallejo should remain sidelined.
According to speculations, coach Paco López is in danger of being sacked, and this game could be his last with the team if Granada fails to secure a positive result.
