Historically, their home matches tend to produce fewer goals, as seen in 10 of their last 13 games finishing with under 3 goals.
Deportivo Alavés approaches this match following a draw against Las Palmas, with goals from Toni Martínez and Jon Guridi. The team typically sets up in a tactical 4-4-2 formation, relying on quick transitions, particularly down the flanks. It is expected that the attacking duo will feature Carlos Martín and Toni Martínez. They tend to initiate attacks down the right side to utilise the depth provided by defender Nahuel Tenaglia. Missing from this match will be Antonio Silvera and Tomás Conechny, both dealing with injuries.

The visiting side is currently in 9th place with 37 points, having achieved 9 wins, 10 draws, and 9 losses.

Rayo Vallecano enters this fixture after playing out a 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad, scoring through Oscar Trejo and Pedro Díaz. The visitors usually adopt a 4-3-3 formation that encourages an offensive style, heavily utilising the flanks. Under this system, Álvaro García, Oscar Trejo, and Sergi Guardiola play vital roles in threatening the opposing defence. Their attacking strategy tends to favour the right side, which allows them to exploit the width offered by wing-back Andrei Rațiu. Missing from this match will be Florian Lejeune due to suspension, as well as Isi Palazón and Randy Nteka, both with injuries.
