Deportivo Alaves vs Girona prediction 23.02.2026 | La Liga

Deportivo Alaves come into Monday's La Liga contest now winless in three matches after last weekend's 1:1 draw against Sevilla. Despite facing ten men for much of the 90 minutes following Juanlu Sánchez's 16th-minute dismissal, El Glorioso were forced to settle for a point at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

A lack of consistency remains an issue for Alaves in 2026. Eduardo Coudet's side won three but lost four of nine games played since the start of January. The hosts now sit 14th in La Liga, just two points above the relegation zone.

Low-scoring outcomes have been frequent at this venue this season. Four of Alaves's last five home fixtures finished with under 2.5 goals scored. An average of 2.25 goals per game were scored in Alaves's 12 La Liga home fixtures. 

Head coach Coudet has just two injury issues this week. Carlos Benavídez misses out while Ville Koski faces a late fitness test.

Girona arrive at the Estadio de Mendizorroza with plenty of confidence following a shock win against Catalan rivals FC Barcelona last weekend. Fran Beltrán's late goal secured a sensational comeback victory for Los Blanquivermells.

Michel's side have been in fine form since the start of 2026, picking up four wins while losing just one of seven previous La Liga fixtures. Girona now sit 12th in the division, three points ahead of Girona. 

Like the home side, low-scoring outcomes have been frequent for Los Blanquivermells. Five of their last six fixtures finished with fewer than three goals scored, while each of four previous matches against Alaves saw no more than one goal. 

Head coach Michel has a lengthy list of absentees this weekend. Donny van de Beek, Portu, Marc-André ter Stegen, Álex Moreno and Juan Carlos are ruled out, Joel Roca is suspended, while Azzedine Ounahi is also set to miss out.
