Alaves take on the visitors Girona in the round 35 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, April 10th at Estadio Mendizorrotza (Vitoria-Gasteiz).
Alaves manages to achieve its plans. The Bean Destroyers could now be playing at a lower level. Relegated to Segunda in 2022, the team didn't particularly shine and could have faced failure in the playoffs - by the rules, in the event of a draw in the final, the opponent would have advanced... But, according to dramatic canons, they managed to earn and convert penalties. Of course, such a newcomer by default becomes the main underdog. But they won their first home matches and then briskly added to their tally. In the end, no one was surprised when there were many dry defeats in the spring - what motivation was there? However, in April, a representative from Vitoria suddenly produced a 2-0 win against Atletico and a 3-0 victory over Celta - and opponents, for various reasons, needed a win. After that, even a 1-0 win against Valencia, even at Mestalla, was no longer perceived as a sensation.

The Gironans have the same owners as Manchester City. Already in the fall, officials, after the first stable successes of Michel Sanchez with his charges, warned that they wouldn't allow the Catalans into the Champions League because of this, but it seemed they hoped that everything would somehow blow over and the sensation of the first round of La Liga would deflate in the second. Partially, that's what happened, and the race with Real practically ended after the 0-4 in the head-to-head match, back at the end of winter. After that, the club continued to lose - but only away. At home, they continued to maintain a hundred percent record, and Dovbik, the record signing they dared to make last summer, solidified his status as the top scorer in the entire Spanish league. So they greeted May in third place, just behind another giant, Barcelona. And they played against them in the last round. There, despite conceding early, they managed to win 4-2 (with Artem scoring and assisting), which led to the rise of the Spanish football Cinderella back to second place in the current table.
In 2019, the Bean Destroyers finally won against Girona. But, playing against them again (and again at the La Liga level), in December, the visitors from Vitoria lost 0-3 at the opponent's stronghold. The visitors are considered the favorites, but in general, they haven't been particularly convincing away lately. And the host side is at its peak form - it's better to go for the neutral option of total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
