Deportivo Alaves vs Espanyol Prediction

Deportivo Alaves Form

Judging by their last three matches, we can expect a bit of everything from Deportivo Alaves at the moment. Against Elche, they came out on top in a 3-1 win, before drawing 0-0 against Valencia. Most recently, they were left reeling in a 1-0 defeat against Rayo Vallecano. Deportivo Alaves managed to win two of their past six home matches in the LaLiga. In the remaining four, they drew three and lost one, as they scored eight and conceded six goals.

Deportivo Alaves had their sights set on the LaLiga title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Espanyol Form

Espanyol won twice in their last three matches, but began by losing 1-2 against Real Betis, before beating Real Oviedo 0-2. Another win followed, this time by 1-0 against Elche. Espanyol claimed just one win from the last six away games in the LaLiga. They also drew two and were defeated three times, as they were outscored by nine goals to six.

They are one of only a few teams capable of taking the title in the LaLiga, and Espanyol currently remain on course.

Espanyol could find it tough to break down the defensive barriers put up by Deportivo Alaves at Estadio Mendizorroza this coming Sunday. The home side doesn't score much themselves, though, and we aim for the under 2.5 goals betting market.

Deportivo Alaves won two matches, scored six goals and conceded five in their last six games against teams from the top half of the LaLiga table. This earned them eight points. Deportivo Alaves are looking at a record of three wins, three draws and four defeats in the LaLiga this season. Espanyol have a record of five wins, three draws and two defeats in the LaLiga.
