Deportivo Alaves vs Valencia Prediction

Deportivo Alaves Form

Showing inconsistent form, Deportivo Alaves lost two of their past three matches, going down 1-0 against Cadiz, before beating Sevilla 4-3. The joy was short-lived, as Getafe proved too strong in a 1-0 defeat. In their last six La Liga home matches, Deportivo Alaves have four wins, no draws and two defeats. They scored 11 and conceded nine goals.

The target is set for Deportivo Alaves whose aim is to stay above the relegation line in the coming season in the La Liga.

Valencia Form

In the last three matches, Valencia beat Sevilla 1-2, won 1-0 against Las Palmas, and lost 1-2 against Osasuna. Valencia won three of a possible six away matches in the La Liga, as well as playing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored eight while also conceding six times.

It has the look of a season in which a relegation battle will play a major part for Deportivo Alaves, who naturally dream of extending their stay in the La Liga.

Deportivo Alaves and Valencia looks like an equal pairing, and since it's difficult to separate one from the other currently, we wouldn't be surprised by a draw.
