Alavés vs Villarreal tickets La Liga

Landing on matchday 3 of 38, this early-season meeting caught both sides just settling into their La Liga rhythm, with Alavés hosting Villarreal at Mendizorroza in Vitoria-Gasteiz on Friday 28 August 2026 at 21:30. A Friday night slot gave the encounter its own space in the round, an opening statement of intent before the calendar tightened. The visitors travelled under Marcelino for a fixture the two clubs had grown familiar with: the most recent time these teams crossed paths at this same ground earlier in the season ended 1-0 to Alavés, while a previous campaign saw them share the points at Mendizorroza with a 1-1 draw. Two contrasting outcomes at the same venue set the tone for another tightly-fought duel.
