Anaitasuna vs Alaves prediction

AI match recap

This is a major cup occasion for Anaitasuna, whose recent momentum and tight home setting give them a platform to make the opening phase awkward. Alavés arrive needing to halt a poor league sequence, but Quique Sánchez Flores has made clear that his side will rotate ahead of Barcelona. The visitors still carry a decisive quality and depth edge, especially once sustained possession pulls Anaitasuna’s defensive lines apart. The key is whether Alavés’ less-used players match the hosts’ intensity from the first duel.

Injuries and absences

Alavés are without Mikel Rodríguez and Facundo Garcés, which limits defensive and midfield selection flexibility during a planned rotation. Boyé’s minor complaint is worth monitoring, though he has indicated his desire to be available.
