Espanyol Deportivo Alavés betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 7^th position of the league, with 45 points won, after 12 wins, 9 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Sevilla, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Leganés, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Deportivo Alavés has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (6 out of 16 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 31 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only turned the score around in 4. In the last 16 away matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 9 of their 25 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Deportivo Alavés arrive for this match with a 1-1 home draw against Leganés, thus registering the third straight game without winning in this competition: the only goal of the team was signed by Jonathan Calleri. For playing in a complicated stadium, coach Abelardo should opt for a more cautious strategy, exploring only the space on the opponent's back. Argentine Jonathan Calleri continues to be the team's highlight, with 7 goals and 2 assists. For this round the coach can not count on Tomás Pina and Martin Aguirregabiria, both suspended, besides Burgui and Maripán, these with physical problems.
