Valencia team overview
Valencia's start has been dramatically different. They have managed just one point from five matches and their last three league games have all ended in defeat: 1-0 against Real Betis, 3-1 against Deportivo La Coruña and 5-0 against Barcelona, before Friday's 1-0 loss to Sevilla.
The defensive situation is particularly concerning. César Tárrega has now joined the injury list after suffering a hamstring injury against Sevilla and is expected to miss the Alavés game. He joins Mouctar Diakhaby and José Copete among the defensive absentees, while Justin De Haas has only recently returned to training.
Valencia's attacking problems are equally worrying, with only one goal scored in five league matches. Umar Sadiq has been their leading scorer, but he is also currently dealing with a hamstring problem.

Prediction
Alavés look considerably better equipped to claim all three points. Their excellent home record and Valencia's defensive injury crisis all point towards the hosts. Valencia's inability to score consistently makes an away victory particularly difficult to envisage.
Prediction: Deportivo Alaves to Win.
Three reasons we expect Deportivo Alaves to Win
- Valencia are still winless in LaLiga this season, having lost four consecutive matches in recent weeks.
- Alavés have been excellent at home this LaLiga campaign, with three wins from a possible three.
- Alavés are also unbeaten in their last four home matches against Valencia, recording three wins in those four fixtures.
