Deportivo Alavés hosts Villarreal CF in a crucial La Liga encounter, with the latter seeking to consolidate their top-four spot. Alavés, who have recently snapped a three-match winless run, will look to capitalize on Villarreal's inconsistent form, particularly in recent away games. The visitors' attacking trio of Gerard Moreno, Samuel Chukwueze, and Alex Baena will be crucial in unlocking the opposition's defense.
