Deportivo Alaves vs Las Palmas Prediction and Betting Tips | December 9th 2023
Deportivo Alaves will host Las Palmas at the Estadio de Mendizorroza on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 La Liga campaign.
The home side are enjoying a solid run of form at the moment and are well on course to avoid the drop. They held on for a goalless draw against Mallorca in their last league outing before beating fourth-tier side Terrassa 1-0 in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday with Xeber Alkain scoring the sole goal of the game midway through the first half.
Deportivo Alaves sit 13th in the league table with 16 points from 15 games. They are five points and five places behind their weekend opponents and will be looking to reduce that gap come Saturday.
Las Palmas have enjoyed a brilliant run of results on their return to the Spanish top flight and are now pushing for the continental places. They beat Getafe 2-0 last time out in La Liga with Barcelona loanee Julian Araujo heading home the opener before Cristian Herrera came off the bench to wrap up the points with a close-range finish.
