Match preview
After the last arrival instead of 10th season, the boss Granada Diego Martinez was delighted with his side entering lockdown vying to win a place in the Europa League next season.
Although this is still the case, Grenada now sit in 10th place after failing to win any of their last four games of La Liga.
The fact that three of these devices came against opponents below them in the table will only add to the disappointment of Martinez, and now must find a solution ahead of an important trip to another team difficulty.
Part of the game Nazaries that failed in the recent releases is their game in the final third, with one first half goal coming in five games.
On the positive side, two of the four strikes from Roberto Soldado for the season came from the recovery, suggesting that the former Tottenham man could emerge as a key man in the weeks to come.
From the perspective of Alaves, they will look at this contest as the perfect opportunity to end a losing streak that has now extended to three games.
To their credit, they gave a decent account of themselves in a 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid Saturday, managing to keep their opponents at bay form for nearly an hour.
However, with their last minute consolation goal from the spot, Alaves now have three games without finding the back of the net open play.
Despite the understandable negativity Mendizorrotza the team Asier Garitano remain nine points clear of the drop zone with just six games remaining.
