Two teams from the Basque Country will meet at Mendizorroza, with a heated rivalry on Sunday as Deportivo Alavés face UD Las Palmas.
One of the key matches this week we expect between Deportivo Alavés and UD Las Palmas in La Liga that both teams will be hoping to thump each other out.
ALAVÉSTHE UNDERDOGS: Alavés may be a smaller club, but they have an impressive following and pedigree of upsetting their opposition. Mendizorroza will be the venue, they entertain Las Palmas and this could be another great game between two evenly matched teams.
Which team is the favourite going into this match?Las Palmas – As they are a bigger and more established club, Las Palmas should be considered favourites for Saturday's clash. Having a great team and being one of the better mobilised sides so far, they will try to control action on their part of San Siro aiming for 3 points.
Key storylines to watch:
It is also a fact that Alavés have a reputation for being extremely solid in defense, so they will probably need to preserve it here and not let Las Palmas score too early.
POTENT LAS PALMAS ATTACK: Las Palmas will look to expose Alavés' vulnerabilities at the back as they aim to create chances with their attacking combination.
The fallout properly from the rivalry in Basque Country: A game against their passionate rivals is bound to have an extra of edge if only because both will be desperate not to lose face.
The match should offer up a treat for fans of football, with the stakes high in terms of how these two line up on white-hot day under clear skies across Spain's Segunda División landscape.
