Deportivo Alavés - Getafe predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

The odds are stacked heavily against Getafe here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Deportivo Alavés are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 3.70.

Though Deportivo Alaves are here after an away defeat in the previous round against Barcelona , that performance does not offer an accurate assessment of their form. They played as visitors against an overwhelmingly stronger opponent, so perhaps the draw in the first half and 1:0 loss aren’t too bad.

Getafe are coming on the back of a disappointing draw in their previous La Liga matchup, which they played as the home team. They had the advantage of playing at home, but the odds never clearly marked them as the favourites. It makes sense that neither side managed to gain the upper hand throughout the out.

Deportivo Alaves are currently near the bottom of the table. Relegation is by no means a sure thing yet, but they are treading on dangerous grounds. Though the upcoming clash with Getafe will not be easy, it’s a great chance to move up to a safer spot.

The first half of the season was far from ideal for Getafe, with them ending up as number 14th in the standings. On one hand, they still have time to work towards a satisfying end to the campaign. On the other, Alaves present a major obstacle and wrestling away any points this Sunday will be a challenge.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this La Liga season. Deportivo Alaves narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 2.90 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
