The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Deportivo Alaves lock horns with an impressive Villarreal side in an important encounter at the Estadio el Madrigal on Sunday.
Villarreal vs Deportivo Alaves Preview
Deportivo Alaves are currently in 17th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Basque outfit played out a 1-1 draw against Real Betis last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Villarreal, on the other hand, are in 16th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled so far this season. The Yellow Submarines slumped to a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Las Palmas in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
