Deportivo Alaves and Real Betis will go head-to-head at the Estadio Mendizorroza on Friday evening as the we head towards the La Liga winter break after these round of fixtures.
Both sides will fancy their chances as they sit 13 and 14th respectively lying 6 points away from the drop zone. Alaves have exceeded expectations so far this season being among the new boys on the block in the current campaign. They have already sprung up shocks in the league season, holding Atletico Madrid to a draw and beating Barcelona earlier on in the season.
With a 0-0 draw against in form side and fellow newcomers Eibar. Coach Mauricio Pellegrino would want to use Friday’s game as a home advantage and climb further up the La Liga table in their so far impressive La Liga campaign.
Betis, on the other hand, off the back of an impressive 1-0 victory over Atletico Bilbao would want to carry on their good form. Friday night’s game could prove an interesting spectacle with players such as Ruben Castro who scored the winner against Bilbao – as he has done on numerous occasions this season – become the match winner again for Victor Sanchez’s side.
