However, Valencia are undefeated in their last eight matches at home in La Liga having registered four draws and four wins.
Jose Luis Gaya, the Valencia captain, says they were desperate to win their clash against Alaves and he urged his troops to keep pushing.
"We prepared to go out and win this game, to practically confirm our safety in the top flight and keep looking for higher positions in the table," Gaya said.
"We've been just a step off that all season -of getting a couple of wins and latching onto the places above us- but we haven't managed it.
"The only option is to keep going and to keep pushing -all of us."

Meanwhile, Barcelona secured a 2-1 win over Villarreal away in their previous league encounter which was played on April 25.
As a result, Barca are unbeaten in their last two matches in this competition having recorded two successive wins.
Barcelona also returned to winning ways on the road in La Liga when they defeated Bilbao after Real Madrid ended their nine-match unbeaten run as the visitors.
The last meeting between Valencia and Barcelona in a league match was on 19 December 2020.
Valencia were able to hold Barcelona to a 2-2 draw in a match that was played at Camp Nou.
