Deportivo Alavés - Cádiz predictions

By pricing a home win at around 1.85, the bookies made it clear that Deportivo Alavés are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Deportivo Alaves and the fact that Cádiz are given 5.25 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Cádiz victory would be a shocking surprise.

Alaves’s confidence is soaring after a major breakthrough in their previous La Liga game. Despite a very hard matchup against Sevilla and a home-field disadvantage, Alaves secured an early lead and turned it into a narrow 2:3 victory.

Not even the most ardent of Cádiz supporters had much hope that the squad will manage to win in the previous round, with bookies pricing that outcome at 2.70. The tie score at halftime and the home-field advantage gave them some hope at first, but they ended up recording a 1:4 defeat by the end.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Alaves may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent La Liga outings.

This season was marked by underwhelming performances from Deportivo Alaves so far. Three positions and mere 5 points lie between them and the relegation zone. On the bright side, betting predictions are favouring them in the clash on Friday, and they still have close to half the season to improve their standing.

Earning the 0 points needed to get out of the relegation zone is paramount for Cádiz, but doing so will be quite the challenge. Although there’s close to half the season yet to be played, they’re facing very unfavourable odds this Friday.

Earlier in the season, Deportivo Alaves lost an away game against Cádiz, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 1.85 odds for a home win in mind.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Friday.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.59 odds offered by Betfair.
