Alaves looking for their first win in six matches

Alaves lost their last three home games but they were against teams in the top four of the La Liga standings. They have won just one of their last ten matches and have scored just seven goals in those matches.

Former Barcelona player and current Alaves coach Abelardo has to worry about his team’s goal scoring form as they could find the opposing teams’ net just four times in their last six matches, conceding 12 on their own in the process.

Real Valladolid to climb away from danger zone

Valladolid’s defeat at rock-bottom Huesca deepened their relegation worries. It could get worse should they suffer a fifth winless game and might even find themselves in the relegation zone.

The fact that coach Sergio’s side are unbeaten in four away matches must give them a confidence boost coming into this La Liga clash. Valladolid also have a low scoring record in their last five matches with six goals scored in them.

Key Stats

-12 matches of both teams this season finished under 2.5 total goals 

-Last two of the head to head matches between these two finished under 2.5 goals.

-Both teams have scored less than two goals in each of their last five matches.

Alaves vs Real Valladolid Prediction

So checking their stats and the inefficiency in front of the goal we predict that we will see a low scoring game and thus we bet for under 2.5 total match goals.
