Alaves host Sporting Gijon at the Mendizorroza in the Spanish Segunda Division on Saturday, looking to keep up with leaders Las Palmas.
El Glorioso are second in the division with 22 points from 11 games, two behind the Canary Islands outfit.
Their nine-game unbeaten run since the start of the campaign ended following a 3-0 defeat of Burgos earlier this month.
However, Javier Calleja's side have recovered since then, collecting four points from their next two games.
Their last outing ended with a 1-0 defeat of Andorra on the road, with Luis Rioja scoring the only goal of the game in the 75th minute.
Sporting Gijon are down in seventh place with 18 points from 11 games and just three defeats from their opening 11 games.
Following a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Granada last weekend, the Asturias outfit recovered to beat Eibar 2-0 at home on Tuesday, courtesy of goals from Pedro Diaz and Cristo Gonzalez.
