Valencia Club de Fútbol face Deportivo Alavés on September 15 at 18:00 UTC at Estadio Mendizorrotza for La Liga matchday 6. The team arrives after a 1-0 loss to Sevilla on September 11, with Juan Antonio Iglesias Sánchez scoring in the 81st minute. Valencia sit 20th in the table with just one point from five games, recording zero wins, one draw and four losses, including a 0-5 thrashing against Barcelona on September 6. Alavés come into the game after a 5-2 home win over Osasuna on September 6 and currently hold third place. Both teams made adjustments to their starting lineups compared to their last matches: Valencia retained the 4-4-1-1 formation with Dimitrievski in goal and a back four of Martínez, Tárrega, Pepelu and Gayà, while Alavés stuck with a 3-5-2 setup featuring Sivera between the posts and a defensive line of Tenaglia, Koski, Jonny and Pérez. The match will be key for Valencia as they aim to end their poor run and secure their first away points of the season. Rubén Baraja’s side will look to exploit Alavés’ defensive frailties, having conceded goals in four of their last five fixtures. Valencia must improve their attacking output, having scored only one goal so far this campaign. The game will be broadcast live via La Liga’s official channels and authorized streaming platforms. Following this fixture, the team will prepare to host Real Betis at Mestalla on September 22. For live updates and match statistics, visit our stats section.
