Newly-promoted Alaves host rock-bottom Almeria on November 5, 2023 in a crucial La Liga match between two relegation battlers. The match at Mendizorrotza Stadium pits 17th placed Alaves, desperate to extend their three-point buffer over the drop zone, against Almeria still searching for their first victory after 11 matches.
Analysis:
Alaves have found wins hard to come by, with just two victories in their opening 11 league games. However, there are encouraging signs for Luis Garcia’s side, who have lost just twice in their last five matches, including hard-fought draws with Celta Vigo, Real Betis and Villarreal. Alaves were narrowly defeated 2-1 by Atletico Madrid last time out, but will be buoyed by their 10-0 Copa del Rey thrashing of Deportivo Murcia in midweek. Returning to their Mendizorrotza fortress, where 7 of their 9 points have come this season, provides hope of ending their seven-game La Liga winless run.
In contrast, Almeria’s search for a first win this La Liga season remains elusive. New manager Gaizka Garitano has been unable to spark an uptick in form, with defeats in his first two league games in charge. The 2-1 home loss to Las Palmas encapsulated Almeria’s struggles, despite a more encouraging 2-0 Copa del Rey victory over fourth-tier Talavera. On the road this season, Almeria have conceded 3+ goals in all three defeats, pointing to ongoing defensive frailties Garitano has yet to rectify.
Alaves’ Jon Karrikaburu, fresh off a hat-trick against Murica, is expected to lead the line. Almeria will look to Belgian youngster Largie Ramazani, who has scored in their last two matches, to break the deadlock.
Prediction:
Playing at home against the league’s basement side represents Alaves’ best opportunity to date to snap their winless run. Almeria have shown little sign of reversing their fortunes and their porous defense remains a major weakness.
Goal.mu/Mauri.bet predicts: Alaves 2-1 Almeria
Alaves’s need for a victory should power them past an Almeria side still searching for answers. Both teams to score looks likely given Almeria’s propensity for conceding goals. Over 2.5 goals is also a good bet, with 8 of Almeria’s last 9 league matches producing 3 or more goals.
