Alaves – Deportivo La Coruna

Alavés host Deportivo La Coruña in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the home side perched third on 10 points after three wins, one draw and a single loss, boasting a solid 11‑5 goal difference. Deportivo sit just a point behind in sixth place, unbeaten in five games with two victories and three draws, and a respectable 9‑6 tally that underscores their defensive resilience. The encounter could prove pivotal for Alavés, who will look to extend their modest lead over the mid‑table cluster, while the Galicians aim to close the gap and climb back into the European spots. Both teams have shown a knack for grinding out results, so a disciplined performance may well decide who walks away with the three points.
