Deportivo Alaves vs Almeria Prediction

Deportivo Alaves Form

It is neither good nor disastrous for Deportivo Alaves with just two points from their last three matches. They first drew 1-1 against Real Betis, followed by another draw. This time 1-1 against Villarreal, before going down in a 2-1 defeat against Atletico Madrid. Deportivo Alaves managed to win two of their past six home matches in the La Liga. In the remaining four, they drew one and lost three, as they scored six and conceded nine goals.

Almeria Form

Almeria suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches as they were run over by Girona in a 5-2 defeat. Las Palmas also proved too hard to handle as they won 1-2, before Almeria were able to strike back in a 0-2 win against CF Talavera de la Reina. Almeria came through their last six away games in the La Liga without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew two and lost four in which, they were outscored by 19 goals to eight.

It seems both Almeria and Deportivo Alaves have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues on Sunday, and we are rooting for goals.

Deportivo Alaves have a record of two wins, three draws and six defeats in the La Liga this season. Almeria are yet to win this season, having played 11 games, in stead showing off three draws and eight defeats.
