Atletico Madrid head to the Basque country to face Deportivo Alaves on Saturday evening with a much needed three points at stake.
Atletico are now 10 points behind league leaders Barcelona following their 2-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao before the international break.
Alaves are enjoying a fantastic season sitting fifth in La Liga table and are currently on a run of six games without defeat. Babazorros should provide Atletico a tough task to overcome in what could be an enticing fixture.
Here is 90min’s preview of Saturday’s encounter at the Mendizorrotza.
The hosts will be without Chilean centre back Guillermo Maripán as he serves a one-match suspension.
