Game Overview
The La Liga match features Deportivo Alavés hosting Valencia. Alavés currently sit 10th in the league standings while Valencia are lower, at 15th. Both teams have shown competitive form in head-to-head meetings, with Alavés narrowly winning the last direct encounter. The game is expected to be a close contest given past results and current form.
Key Factors to Consider
- Alavés have been in relatively good form, securing a 3-1 home win on 10/5 and maintaining a higher league position (10th). Valencia, placed 15th, have shown less defensive solidity (5 clean sheets to Alavés' 6) but created more shots on goal (29 compared to Alavés' 25). Leading players include Carlos Vicente for Alavés with 3 goals and Hugo Duro for Valencia also with 3 goals. Both teams have crucial contributors in attack but Alavés have slightly better defensive records as per latest data.
- Last season, Alavés won the home game 1-0 while the reverse fixture ended in a draw. Historical matchups suggest a tightly contested rivalry with no dominant side emerging decisively in recent meetings.
- No explicit injury information available from current search results, suggesting no major absences reported close to the match date.
- The match is at Alavés' home ground, Estadio de Mendizorroza, which provides them home advantage. Weather or other unusual external factors are not reported.
- Alavés, positioned higher, would be motivated to consolidate their standing, while Valencia will likely be hungry to pull away from the relegation-threatened zone. Competitive league positioning and recent form both add significant motivation for both sides.
