Deportivo Alavés - Atlético Madrid predictions

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Deportivo Alavés fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Atlético Madrid would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

The match is most likely to go in the away team’s favour, though it’s by no means a sure thing. With 2.04 betting odds to win, Atletico have the upper hand going in, but all three possible outcomes are possible.

The home side comes off from a disappointing Granada and will be looking to bounce back when they meet Los Rojiblancos on Sunday. The last match was a big blow to their confidence and it remains to be seen if they are strong enough to return to winning ways.

Atletico Madrid are coming on the back of top-notch performance in their recent home game against Girona in which they won the game 3:1. Better yet, they were in the lead for most of the match, which only makes the victory more decisive.

Unspurred by the home-field advantage, Deportivo Alaves ended both of their latest home games with less than 2 goals between them and the opposition. It’s safe to assume we won’t see a lot of action this time around either.

The end of the season is rapidly approaching, though there’s still a lot of work to do for Atletico. They can attempt to move up the table and claim the title, but they have to be careful not to lose their current position at 4th, either. Especially considering that this upcoming showdown won’t be easy to win.

Atletico Madrid were the winners in the first match these two squads played, which happened earlier in the season. It was a rather narrow victory, but they’re still expected to triumph this Sunday despite playing as the away team.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.15 odds offered at Betway.
