Deportivo Alaves - Granada

A very important match in the battle of this Saturday night in Mendizorroza of Alavés that welcomes Granada.

The three points that separate the two teams with the guest having the difference in their favor, make the match for Alaves final. Last Sunday's trip to nearby Sociedad was favored by the local Real and was confirmed even with difficulty after 70 minutes when the only goal of the match was scored. The first half had no rhythm and in 3-4 phases Sociedad failed in the final attempt. In the replay the scene changed, there was a fast pace with the host again with most phases but it took a header after a foul for the final 1-0. Alavés up to that point had a passive role having X in mind and not being able to do otherwise with a better team in the other half of the field, but after the goal they looked for their own, created some dangerous situations and could if they were more apt to get the degree.

He did well, as he did in the 0-0 draw with Sevilla, got a 2-2 draw in Madrid with Getafe and put a lot of pressure on Real at the Bernabeu for 60 minutes. She generally has a good presence which is not reflected in her form as she had a difficult program.

The home game with Granada is a break in this difficult program before going to Atletico Metropolitano and Osasuna El Sadar. It is a match that has marked for a long time and that after the new defeat of Granada, wants the three-pointer to reach it and maybe get out of the relegation zone. Alaves bets on its court that it has not lost to better opponents and has won teams that are close to it or in the middle of the standings.

Granada is disappointing, it is not reminiscent of the team that went to Europe and ignores the victory in 2022. Two points in 10 games although it pushed with the turn of Real (1-0) and Barcelona (1-1 inside) but scores very difficult and with Alaves who is tough and difficult to pay I do not see this change. The Basques of Alaves are a better team, a better team and an urgent need to correct their position in the table. They have the first reason for the victory which is celebrated at 2.10 and I believe that by the day of the match it will recede.
