Valencia will need a momentous comeback to stay in the Champions League next week and face an uphill task to qualify for next season's competition too after being held by Alaves in La Liga on Friday.
Albert Celades’ side will host Atalanta on Tuesday after managing just one win in seven games, with the match at Mestalla also set to be held without fans due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Atalanta own a 4-1 lead from the first leg and any hopes Valencia had of building some momentum were dashed by Alaves, who earned a deserved 1-1 draw after Edgar Mendez levelled with 17 minutes left.
Dani Parejo had put Valencia in front with a brilliant free-kick in the first half.
The draw leaves Valencia three points adrift of fourth-placed Getafe in the table, despite having played a game more. Alaves move up to 11th. (SuperSport)
