Valencia have made a solid start to life under new boss Pepe Bordalas and Los Che are taken to grind out the three points when they entertain struggling Alaves at Mestalla this Friday night.

Off the field issues continue to cast a shadow over Valencia, though supporters should feel very optimistic about the season ahead based on how their side have performed under Bordalas’ watch in the opening two games of the campaign.

Valencia showed immense character to secure a 1-0 win over Bordalas’ former club Getafe here on Matchday 1 after being reduced to ten men early in the piece, and they battled hard at Granada last weekend to eventually rescue a point via a late Carlos Soler penalty.

Los Che are already demonstrating many of the traits synonymous with Getafe during Bordalas’ time in Madrid and we think the 57 year-old will oversee another victory this Friday night against an Alaves side who have lost their first two league games.

After being outclassed 1-4 by Real Madrid, Babazorros were woeful when turned over 0-1 by Mallorca last weekend, and they head to Mestalla this Friday having won just two of their last 14 away La Liga trips, losing nine.

Alaves have also lost seven of their last nine visits to this venue (D2), so Valencia have to be backed to prevail on Matchday 3 after losing only to Barcelona in their last dozen outings at Mestalla, winning seven.

瓦伦西亚在新主帅博达拉斯的领导下已经有了一个坚实的开端，而洛斯切将在周五晚上对阵苦苦挣扎的阿拉维斯时获得三分。

球场外的问题继续笼罩着瓦伦西亚，尽管球迷们应该对赛季的前景感到非常乐观，因为他们的球队在博尔达拉斯的监督下在前两场比赛中的表现。

瓦伦西亚在第1比赛日1-0战胜博尔达拉斯的前俱乐部赫塔菲时表现出了巨大的个性，在比赛开始时他们只有10人，上周末他们在格拉纳达的比赛中奋力拼搏，最终通过卡洛斯·索雷尔的点球挽救了一分。

洛斯切已经展现出了博达拉斯在马德里时赫塔菲的许多特点，我们认为这位57岁的球员将在周五晚上对阵输掉前两场联赛的阿拉维斯队时再次取得胜利。

在1-4落后于皇家马德里之后，巴贝佐罗斯在上周末被马洛卡0-1淘汰的时候表现得很糟糕。本周五他们前往梅斯塔利亚，在过去的14场西甲客场比赛中，他们只赢了2场，输了9场。

阿尔维斯在过去的9场客场比赛中也输掉了7场，所以巴伦西亚必须在第三场比赛中获胜，他们在梅斯塔利亚的前12场比赛中只输给了巴塞罗那，并赢得了7场比赛。
