Anaitasuna vs Alaves Prediction

Anaitasuna hosts Deportivo Alavés on 10 November 2026 at 21:00 in the Copa del Rey round of 64. This is a genuine Basque derby between a modest amateur club from Azkoitia and a top-flight side. For Anaitasuna, the occasion represents the biggest match of the autumn. For Alavés, this cup tie is a mandatory step toward the next round, though the visitors are managing a difficult spell in La Liga and will rotate their squad.

Alavés will dominate possession from the opening minutes, attacking across the full width and using quick combination play to unsettle Anaitasuna's defensive lines. The hosts will deploy a deep, layered defensive block with reliable central support, looking to stay compact and exploit occasional counterattacks or set pieces. Alavés' superiority in individual skill, speed of decision-making and physical condition should prove decisive, but Anaitasuna's fighting spirit and passionate home support at Cheroya Stadium create conditions for both teams to score.
