UD Almería, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 1-2 Copa del Rey success over CD Numancia.

The only name on the scoresheet from UD Almería was Lucas Robertone (44', 91'). Menudo Domínguez (58') scored for CD Numancia.

Almería have not been the best at stopping their opponents lately, but they have also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Almería have seen their goal breached in 5 of them in addition to getting on the scoresheet in 6 of those games.

Alaves

LWDLWL

After being beaten in their last game against Cádiz in La Liga competition, Alaves will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Alaves managed 61% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Alaves was Joselu (23'). Cádiz had 10 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Alex Fernández (15'), Antony Lozano (56') and Álvaro Negredo (68') scored for Cádiz.

The numbers tell their own story, and Alaves have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 9 goals in total. Defensively, Babazorros seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. Still, we will just have to wait and see whether that trend might be sustained in this upcoming game.
