Alaves – Racing Santander

Alavés host Racing Santander in what promises to be a crucial encounter for both sides. Sitting third with ten points from three wins, one draw and a single loss, the home team have already netted eleven goals while conceding just five. Racing, currently tenth with seven points after two victories, one draw and two defeats, sit level on goals scored at nine but have leaked the same number. The clash pits a defensively solid Alavés against a side that will be eager to close the gap on the leaders, making the stakes high for a potential swing in the table.
