Alaves gave a good account of themselves against Barcelona at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys last time out, taking an early lead through Samu Omorodion’s effort inside the opening minute. However, the reigning La Liga champions managed to turn things around in the second-half thanks to Robert Lewandowski’s brace and thereby handed the Blue and Whites their seventh league-defeat of the season. Prior to that, the Glorious One recorded their third top flight success of the campaign, courtesy edging past a struggling Almeria thanks to Aleksandar Sedlar’s lone goal eleven minutes from time. Goals have been a real problem for Luis Garcia’s side, managing 11 in their last 13 outings, which is the joint second-worst record in the division behind Cadiz.
Granada, on the other hand, shared the spoils with Getafe before the international break. The Capital side took an early lead through Borja Mayoral’s in the second minute, before the Gonzalo Villar leveled the score on the stroke of half-time. Although the result ended the Andalusian outfit’s four-game losing streak in all competitions, they are still winless in their last eleven fixtures. Nazaries have recorded just a solitary league win this term and that success came against Mallorca towards the end of August. Paco Lopez’s side have picked only one point on their travels in the league this season, and their defence has been leaky to say the least, conceding 30 times in 13 matches, which is second-worst defensive record in the La Liga behind Almeria (35).
Alaves probable starting lineup: Sivera, Gorosabel, Maras, Marin, Duarte, J Lopez, Guridi, Blanco, Guevara, Rioja, Omorodion
Granada probable starting lineup: Ferreira, Manafa, Miquel, Diaz, Neva, Villar, Gumbau, Melendo, Puertas, Uzuni, Boye
