If Alavés loses this afternoon against Espanyol, they will be a SmartBank League team before going to sleep. That formula is unappealable and could even cause a championship brawl in Mendizorroza. But it is that if he draws or wins, he could also go down on this day. In the event of a draw with the parakeets, you will have to hope that Mallorca does not beat Sevilla at Pizjuán. Otherwise, also to Second.
Even winning in the municipal stadium of Vitoria, it could happen that tomorrow Cádiz would give the bell in San Sebastián. In such a case, even with albiazul victory, straight to the abyss. And it is that yesterday’s 1-0 against Athletic Granada upset things a bit since one of the bad axioms for Velázquez’s team was that Karanka’s team took the three points. And, in the end, that was what happened.

Lucas Pérez has been one of the great protagonists of Cádiz’s reaction in the last days. A player who started the season in Vitoria, who went to Elche for free, who then earned a million euros in the winter market for his transfer to Cádiz. Another bloody case is that of Aitor Karanka, from Vitoria and son of one of those responsible for the Alavés quarry, who has launched Granada towards permanence.
Alavés still needs to receive Espanyol, travel to Levante and host Cádiz in his fiefdom. To Mallorca, travel to Seville, receive Rayo and finish in Pamplona. To Cádiz, finally, Real, Madrid and Mendizorroza to close the current course. Levante is considered relegated since a victory for Real Madrid on this day would send it directly to the Second Division. But in many places you can also see the Glorious in Second.
