Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Away win – 2.14
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Total Goals over 2.5 – 2.01
Away win
We see the visitors as favorites for this game, not only for their own merits but also for Alaves’s poor form, a team that have lost 7 of 10 previous matches.
In addition, Unai Emery’s side are at their good level of the season, with a very attacking game and a very advanced defense, while Alaves have failed to win 19 of their last 21 La Liga fixtures.
Total Goals over 2.5
If there was a nominee, “Teams who like to exchange goals,” then Alaves-Villarreal would have won the award.
The last 10 games between both sides saw at least three goals per match. Moreover, Alaves and Villarreal have both scored in their last 8 meetings.
It’s likely that the trend will continue. That’s why we think that this match could have many dangerous chances and goals.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Alaves vs Villarreal
Alaves’s situation are increasingly worrying. With 7 defeats in their last 10 fixtures, having conceded 18 goals in those matches, Los Babazorros are at the bottom of the standings on 25 points, 6 points off the safe place.
With 5 matches left in Spanish Primera, it can be said that the upcoming clash against Villarreal could be their last opportunity to save their place in La Liga.

On the other hand, Villarreal need to bounce back after losing the UEFA Champions League semifinal first leg match against Liverpool (0:2) in Anfield.
Even though their good form, Villarreal are far more reliable at home than when they are the away team. So far this season, they have only four wins in 16 matches away from their home stadium, which is a poor result for a team which are in 7th place and playing in the UCL semifinal.
