Team News

Deportivo Alaves
Athletic Club
  • Samu Omorodion could feature this weekend, having been given increasingly more minutes off the bench in recent weeks.
  • Apart from Giuliano Simeone's long term ankle injury, there are no fresh injuries.
  • Nico Williams could well miss Friday's clash, having been absent for Athletic's 3-0 victory against Cadiz, due to a hip injury he picked up during the international break.
  • Strikers Asier Villalibre and Gorka Goruzeta both scored in last week's victory - Ernesto Valverde will face a selection headache for the number nine role.
  • Club captain Yeray Alvarez has fully recovered from injury and could start his first game of the season.

Prediction

  • Alaves have been poor this season at shutting down chances from the half spaces, so Nico Williams replacement, Alex Berenguer, will have to step up to the plate from the right hand side.
  • Only one goal has been scored in the last three meetings between the two, coming for Athletic Club in a 1-0 victory.
  • Samu Omorodion could be a saving grace for Alaves in search of points in this one, sporting an xg of 0.58 in only 132 minutes playing time - he is the club's best attacking threat statistically.
  • The visitors should take all three points in this one, continuing their three game unbeaten run.
