Alaves and Atlético contest the start of the winter in Mendizorosa with the Albiazuales, now clinging to the wagon driven by Chacho Cudet, once again looking for a winning streak that has already continued for Valverde’s Atlético. Their league winning streak is now five, a feat they haven’t achieved in 10 years.
Possible line-ups for Alaves and Atlético
How is Alaves coming?
The Albiazul are chasing joy in a derby that has not seen them since the 20-21 season. Kude will not be able to rely on Protesoni – what Benavides calls himself now – and worked on the idea of being the main character with his people. “We need time, but I’m happy with what I’ve seen so far. I found a very predisposed group,” says the coach after a “pure” work week to seed his ideas.
How is “Athletic” coming?
The recovery of Nico and Yerawho had to be substituted due to the knocks he took against Fenerbahce, gives Valverde plenty of choice on a day with rotations. It is the big question of the meeting learn the identity of the goalkeeper after Simon’s recoveryalthough Aguirrezabala is at a high level. The international will play at least one of the two games against Alaves and Osasuna that remain until 2024.
The fight of the match
Guridi vs Galareta. The engine room of both teams will have a lot to say in a high-intensity game to achieve recoveries that favor transition phases.

The forecast… MIGUEL ÁNGEL GARCÍA
Alaves 1-3 Athletic
- Coude has had little time to instill his style and ideas at Alaves, and besides, he gets one of the best teams in La Liga, which is why, despite playing in Mendezorosa, the Basque derbies can bring anything , but it would be strange to see Ernesto Valverde’s team slip up in this case.
