**Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain** – Deportivo Alavés begins the second half of their La Liga season with a challenging away match against Real Betis at the Benito Villamarín stadium this Saturday at 6:30 PM local time. While Betis are also struggling, having only secured one league victory since November, Alavés faces their own difficulties, currently on a seven-game winless streak.

Despite their struggles, Alavés midfielder Antonio Blanco expressed optimism this week, highlighting the improved performance in their recent loss against Girona. He believes that continuing that level of competitiveness will lead to better results, hoping for a victory against Betis in this crucial stage of the season.

The match comes amidst significant squad changes at Alavés. The club has officially announced the loan transfer of Abde Rebbach to Granada CF until the end of the season. Meanwhile, Luka Romero has joined Mexican club Cruz Azul after his loan from AC Milan was terminated. Furthermore, Real Zaragoza has expressed interest in signing Aleksandar Sedlar, who has seen reduced playing time since the departure of coach Luis García Plaza.
