Team News

Deportivo Alaves
Espanyol
  • Tomas Conechny remains out for Alaves, and there's a chance we won't see him return until the middle of March.
  • Joan Jordan came off the bench last time out to score twice, so he could have earned himself a place in the starting XI.
  • Jesus Owono, Hugo Novoa, and Carlos Benavidez are also on the treatment table and will be unavailable to face Espanyol on Saturday.
  • Jose Gragera and Paul Ramon remain on the treatment table, but we could see the former return to action later this month. Ramon isn't expected to be available until at least March.
  • Fernando Pacheco will also be unavailable as he continues his recovery from surgery. The goalkeeper is likely to be out for an extended period, with Joan Garcia keeping his place between the sticks.

Prediction

  • Alaves' draw last time out means the 19th-place La Liga side have failed to win in their previous four games in the league. As it stands, they are one point away from escaping the relegation zone, but they need to turn their form around.
  • Espanyol were unfortunate not to pick up a victory against Athletic Club in their last match, with Oihan Sancet securing a second-half equaliser meaning the two sides shared the points. If results fail to go their way, Espanyol could drop into the relegation places.
  • When the two sides met earlier in the season, Espanyol won 3-2 in what was a thrilling encounter. Javi Puado scored a hat-trick, and he'll be hoping to repeat his impressive performance once again.
