Deportivo Alavés

Alavés currently sits thirteenth in La Liga with ten points, having won three games, lost five and drawn one. The team is facing a crisis, having lost three games back-to-back. The game against Real Valladolid is important because it’s a team in the relegation zone. 

A victory would relieve Alaves of immediate relegation concerns. Alavés’ only clean sheet this season was in a goalless draw against Real Betis on the second matchday.

This could be the only “easy” fixture in the coming weeks, with tough matches against Rayo Vallecano, Mallorca, Villarreal, and Atlético de Madrid on the horizon.

Real Valladolid

Real Valladolid was promoted this season from the Segunda but has struggled to adapt to the First Division. This isn’t the first time Real Valladolid has bounced between the first and second divisions in Spain. The team is too strong for the Segunda, but lacks the individual quality to survive in the first division.

Real Valladolid is currently 19th in La Liga, with their only win of the season coming on the first matchday, when they defeated Espanyol 1-0. A big issue is the attack, as the team has never scored more than one goal in 90 minutes. The team has conceded 19 goals while managing to score only five. Furthermore, Real Valladolid lost the friendly match during the international break against Leganes (3-1). Only Las Palmas has fewer points than Real Valladolid (3 pts) in La Liga.

Deportivo Alavés vs Real Valladolid Prediction

• Prediction: Deportivo Alavés to win
• Odds: 1.65 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 3-0 FC St.Pauli

Betting odds also favour Deportivo Alavés. The team might be going through troubling times at the moment, but they remain a solid mid-table club. Alavés gave Real Madrid a tough time (3-2) and proved that their mid-block defence shouldn’t be underestimated. 

The team also won against Real Sociedad (2-1) and Sevilla (2-1). The Basque team has historically dominated the encounter, having won thirteen times against Real Valladolid, while Valladolid only won five times. The two teams also shared points twice. 

Alavés won the last match in January 2023, in the Copa Del Rey (1-0). Real Valladolid’s last victory against Alavés dates back to the pandemic era in 2020 when they won 1-0. 

With Real Valladolid struggling to defend or attack and Alavés hosting the game in search of confidence, the hosts are expected to win the match on Friday night.

Deportivo Alavés vs Real Valladolid Betting Tip

• Pick: Deportivo Alavés to open the score
• Odds: 1.56 (22Bet)

While both teams are struggling, the hosts haven’t had problems scoring. They have scored about double the goals scored by Valladolid, as Alaves scored eleven goals in La Liga while Valladolid only scored five goals. Despite their current struggles, Alavés remains a solid mid-table team. 

As Alavés will be able to count on home support, it’s likely to see a more aggressive team than the last matchday, when Alavés lost against Barcelona (0-3). Stoichkov and Carlos Vicente are expected to lead Alavés, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them on the scoresheet against Real Valladolid.
