THE PREDICTION
This is one of the minor Basque derbies but it remains something of a rivalry regardless of its status in the region. Marcelino’s Athletic come into this on the back of a 1-1 draw with his former club Valencia in the previous match. That point maintains their mid-table place with just one defeat all season. They come up against an Alaves side that had scored just one goal and lost all six games before they hosted reigning champions Atletico Madrid last weekend. They overcame their opponents, though, and won 1-0 in a shock victory. Their low-scoring form is likely to remain with under 2.5 goals highly likely in this game.
