What Happened
Alavés and Girona are set to face off on Monday at Estadio Mendizorrotza, concluding La Liga’s matchweek. Alavés currently occupies the 15th position with 26 points, just two points above the relegation zone. The team has struggled recently, drawing 1-1 against Sevilla and remaining winless in their last three matches across all competitions. In contrast, Girona sits in 13th place with 29 points, buoyed by a significant 2-1 victory over Barcelona last week, which has improved their morale.
Why It Matters
This match is critical for Alavés as they seek to secure points to avoid relegation. With only 18 points from 12 home games this season, the pressure is on to perform at Mendizorrotza, especially given their recent home losses. Girona, on the other hand, aims to maintain their momentum and solidify their mid-table position, having been unbeaten in six of their last seven matches.
What’s Next
As the match approaches, both teams will be looking to capitalize on their respective strengths. Alavés needs a win to escape the relegation battle, while Girona hopes to build on their recent success. The outcome of this fixture could significantly impact the standings as the season progresses.
