Deportivo Alaves vs Real Oviedo Prediction

Deportivo Alaves Form

Deportivo Alaves are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Real Madrid by a 1-2 score, before winning 1-0 against Sevilla. They lost again in their most recent match, this time 3-0 against Osasuna. Deportivo Alaves won three of their previous six matches at Estadio Mendizorroza in the LaLiga. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring seven goals to five against.

Dreaming of the LaLiga title, Deportivo Alaves are currently too far behind budget, so to speak, to seriously stake a claim at first place.

A mid-table finish seemed likely for Real Oviedo but in current form they could be dragged into a relegation battle.
