On Wednesday night, Villarreal will host Alaves at Estadio de la Ceramica in an effort to avenge their 4-0 loss to Barcelona. Alaves, meanwhile, enters the match with just one point from their first three La Liga games of the year. Alaves have only given up three goals in their previous two games going into this match, but that has not been enough to keep them out of the relegation zone. Following a comeback victory over Eibar, a 1-1 draw against newly promoted Huesca at home would have given supporters little hope going into Sunday night’s match at Camp Nou. Barcelona blew away El Submarino Amarillo, scoring all four goals before halftime, despite playing their first game of the season.
A scoreless draw at Getafe on Saturday afternoon came after narrow losses to Real Betis and Granada. Pablo Machin, who was hired as Juan Muniz’s replacement last month, now has a big job on his hands as Alaves have only managed two wins and two draws in the 14 games since their return to action in June.
