Alaves Preview – Can Babazorros keep their survival hopes alive?
Alaves have given themselves a glimmer of hope with their recent home form, but Babazorros have had a miserable season in La Liga. Javier Calleja was replaced by Jose Luis Mendilibar in December. Then last month, Julio Velazquez was appointed new boss.
Alaves, who finished 16th last term, have picked up seven wins, seven draws and have suffered 21 defeats. No team in Spain’s top tier have lost more matches. However, as we touched on, they have won the last two at home under Velazquez, and just Granada have won on their patch since January.
No less than three points will suffice for Alaves as they look to move off the foot of the table. The home team are the bookies’ favourites in this one at 11/10.
Espanyol Preview – Will the visitors end dreadful away run?
Espanyol are having a poor end to their season, winning just one of the last six. Since beating Celta Vigo at home on 10th April, the White and Blue have gone on to draw one and lose three of four.
Espanyol’s form away from the RCDE Stadium has been woeful. They have not won on the road in the league since the turn of the year, with their last away success coming at Valencia on New Year’s Eve. They have taken just two points from the last 21 on offer on their travels.

We fancy Alaves to nick a narrow victory on home soil, and there is good value in 11/4 for the hosts to win by one goal. The 1-0 Alaves win at 13/2 has also caught the eye.
