Valencia are one of the best teams in the competition, and they have begun their new campaign on a great note. Meanwhile, Alaves are counted amongst the weakest, and they have made a mess of their season till now. Likely, expect a win for the former.
Valencia had finished 13th in the Spanish top flight the last season, and had remained unbeaten in 23 of their total 38 fixtures through the run.
They had scored a total of 50 goals in the process, and despite these stats, they were not in the running for any of the European spots.
For a club of their stature, it was an underachievement, and they are determined to make amends. As of now, they have started their new season on a high. The team is unbeaten so far, and they are placed sixth in the table.
Also, with titans Real Madrid and Barcelona going through issues of their own, this is the opportunity for the likes of them to go after a podium spot.
In the meantime, Alaves had finished 16th in the table in 2020-21, just a single spot above the relegation cut-off, with a surplus of just four points. So far they have shown no indication as to there would be any change in their form and performances.

瓦伦西亚是比赛中最好的球队之一，他们已经开始了新的赛季。与此同时，阿拉维斯被认为是最弱的球队之一，到目前为止，他们已经把赛季搞得一团糟。很有可能，前者会获胜。
瓦伦西亚上赛季在西班牙顶级联赛中排名第13，并且在38场比赛中有23场保持不败。
在这一过程中，他们共进了50个球，尽管有这些数据，但他们并没有进入任何一个欧洲赛场。
对于他们这样的俱乐部来说，这是一个差强人意的成绩，他们决心做出弥补。到目前为止，他们的新赛季开始时状态非常好。到目前为止，这个队还未被打败，他们在积分榜上排名第六。
此外，随着皇家马德里和巴塞罗那这两大巨头正经历着他们自己的问题，这对他们这样的人来说是一个争夺领奖台的机会。
与此同时，阿拉维斯队在2020-21赛季的积分榜上排名第16位，仅比保级线高出一分，仅多出4分。到目前为止，他们还没有任何迹象表明他们的状态和表现会有任何变化。
