The home team has performed poorly in the league this season and sits at the bottom. They lost 2-0 to Rayo Vallecano in their last game and only had one shot on target the whole game, so there’s nothing to complain about.

Alaves are 14th in the league with six points from five games. They will try to shake off their latest results and return to winning this weekend.

Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao opened their La Liga campaign with a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid but have since bounced back. They beat Cadiz 3-0 away from home in their last game and were deservedly dominant, with three players scoring in the final 30 minutes.

The visitors sit fourth in the La Liga table with 10 points from 15 points. They will aim to continue their good form on Friday.

Alaves has lost two of its last three games and four of its previous six. However, they are unbeaten at home in the league this year and expect a positive result this weekend.

Bilbao has won three of its last four games after going winless in the previous five. The visitors are in much better form heading into the weekend’s games and should come out on top here.
