Deportivo Alaves welcome Real Betis to the Mendizorrotza in La Liga on Sunday (August 25). Both teams endured a winless start to their league campaign last week.

Betis, meanwhile, drew 1-1 with Girona at home. Marc Bartra gave them a sixth-minute lead, but Girona equalised in the 72nd minute, with Gabriel Misehouy scoring two minutes into his club debut.
Betis bounced back with a 2-0 win in the UEFA Conference League qualifying play-off first leg over Kryvbas on Wednesday, thanks to goals from Ezequiel Avila and Rodri.
