Neither of these sides have been particularly good in their opening games, though Valencia have a lot more to show for their efforts. Valencia won their opener against Getafe and took a point last time out in controversial circumstances. Pepe Bordalas' men were given a penalty in the 88th-minute despite VAR appearing to show very-little-to-no contact. Nevertheless, Carlos Soler stepped up, as he did in the opening game, and scored, this time securing a late point against Granada. Still, Valencia haven't performed particularly well in either match, and the same can certainly be said of Alaves, who have arguably been the worst performers in the league from the first two games. Javi Calleja's men were brushed aside with ease by Real Madrid before losing to newly promoted Mallorca at home last time out. A much better performance is required of the Basque side here, but they are likely to come up short against Valencia.
