Alaves Analysis: Currently sitting 13th in the table
Many whispers and speculations surfaced at the beginning of the year regarding Luis Garcia Plaza’s impending dismissal as Deportivo Alaves’ manager, even though the Basque team easily avoided relegation after winning promotion to the top division the previous season. They won 3 straight straight away, but after a relapse into bad form, the manager is once again under fire. They enter this match fresh off a 1-0 loss to Osasuna at El Sadar in Pamplona last Monday, where Croatian international Ante Budimir scored the game-winning goal in the 76th minute. After those three consecutive wins in La Liga, they suffered a narrow loss and are currently winless in their last 5 games.
Rayo Analysis: They haven’t won in 9 games
Rayo Vallecano’s season was always going to be extremely difficult given the loss of several important players and manager Andoni Iraola last summer. However, with Francisco leading the team, the Madrid-based team seemed to have righted the ship. However, Francisco was replaced last month following a dismal run of play through the fall and winter. Inigo Perez, 33, who replaced him and was Iraola’s assistant coach, has lost his first three games and drawn the other two. Last Saturday, in terrible weather at Vallecas, a truly unpleasant 1-1 draw versus struggling Cadiz was followed by a wonderful draw versus Real Madrid and an understandable loss to high-flying Girona. Diego Mendez will miss this weekend’s match against Alaves due to injury, and Pep Chavarria will be ineligible due to suspension for Rayo Vallecano.
