Valencia - form analysis: Continues attempts to secure a spot in at least the Conference League.
The "Bats" made it clear from the start of the season that they weren't aiming to fight relegation. By mid-spring, they became contenders for a top-third position in the table. This was especially evident after pragmatic 1-0 away wins against Granada and Osasuna in April. However, Betis immediately reclaimed the seventh spot by defeating them at "Mestalla." They then suffered a defeat against Barcelona, but they managed to draw against Sevilla in the derby.
Deportivo Alaves - form analysis: The club is still capable of surprises.
The "Bean Eaters," expected to be one of the main outsiders in the division, quickly returned to La Liga, but only from the fourth position in Segunda and with a very difficult victory in the promotion playoffs. However, right from the start in La Liga, under Luis Garcia Plaza's guidance, they started collecting points and even winning matches. By mid-March, they had amassed 32 points - quite enough for a comfortable finish by today's standards. Initially, they seemed generous in distributing points: losing 0-2 to Athletic and even Granada, 0-1 to Real Sociedad. But they surprised everyone by scoring in each half against Atletico, eventually winning the game. They also crushed Celta 3-0.
