Deportivo Alaves vs Valencia CF Tickets

Deportivo Alavés vs Valencia CF sees two sides competing for European football square off against each other in La Liga competition and has all the prospect of being a hugely entertaining clash when played out at the Estadio de Mendizorrotza. With one of the most established and famous sides in Spanish football making the trip to the Basque region to face one of the newest top division outfits, a general excitement is certainly built and felt around the community.

Deportivo Alavés, who have the nickname Babazorros, are one of the least successful sides to have ever hailed from the Basque region of the country, although that could be down to the fact that they only just turned 100 years old in 2020, with Athletic Club Bilbao and Real Sociedad both having been established a lot longer. Nonetheless, the club have managed to go from strength to strength over the past decade as they look to continue to strive and improve upon each season’s finish, upsetting many of the other teams in the division as they achieve their aims.

Valencia, though, are one of the biggest sides to have ever been produced by Spanish football and have gone on to become one of the most successful sides to have played the game. Los Che, as they are nicknamed, have lifted no fewer than six La Liga titles in their history, as well as claiming silverware within continental competition.

Therefore, it is rather easy to understand why there is such a buzz and excitement around the Estadio de Mendizorrotza when the date of the fixture comes around. With the stadium only able to hold a capacity of 19,820, it is one of the smallest in the country, however it has the ability to be rather hostile to visiting teams and helps to make it rather tense.

Indeed, that environment seems to have helped Babazorros in previous fixtures, as they have a rather decent record when Los Che make the trip to northern Spain. Previous results have seen Deportivo Alavés come out 2-1 victors multiple times, whilst also holding the stars of Valencia to 1-1 draws. The Valencian outfit have managed the odd win, with a 1-2 scoreline in 2017, although they do generally struggle.

Deportivo Alavés versus Valencia CF has all the makings of being an entertaining clash between two sides when played at the Estadio de Mendizorrotza and one that the hosts can look to enjoy on a regular basis. With just shy of 20,000 spectators in the stands, it is a game with two sets of passionate fans that will get the venue rocking and produce an environment many teams will not have experience dealing with all that often.
