Nobody likes to be on the losing side, especially so early into a new season. Athletic Club and Deportivo Alaves are no exception in this respect. Both teams are eager to improve from last term, leading us to expect an exciting affair at San Mames.

The last time these two sides facing off here came up against each other, Athletic Club came away with a 1-0 win. They have a similar outcome in mind at San Mames, but face stern opposition, of course.

Athletic Club vs Deportivo Alaves Prediction

Athletic Club Form

Athletic Club are enjoying their football currently with three wins on the bounce, and it began with a 3-2 win against Sevilla. They went on to beat Rayo Vallecano by 1-0, before also getting the better of Real Betis in a 1-2 victory. Athletic Club showed little mercy in their past six matches at San Mames, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target nine times, while letting in six themselves.

Deportivo Alaves Form

In their previous three matches, Deportivo Alaves beat Levante 2-1, lost 1-0 against Real Betis and drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid. Deportivo Alaves claimed two wins against two draws and two defeats in their last six away matches in the LaLiga. The scoreline from these matches reads five goals conceded and five scored.

Athletic Club find it tough these days to get a goal in, but Deportivo Alaves are equally lacklustre in front of goal currently, and going with under 2.5 goals in the betting market is the obvious choice.
