Osasuna - Deportivo Alavés predictions

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Deportivo Alavés are still on the table.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Osasuna on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Osasuna are coming on the back of an away draw (1:1) in the previous round against Las Palmas . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for Osasuna considering the 2.49 odds on them.

Deportivo Alaves’s latest La Liga match ended in disappointment. A draw against Mallorca doesn’t sound too bad on paper, but we have to remember that top online bookies considered them favourites at odds of 2.02. Besides, it was a home game for them.

Deportivo Alaves have been known to be especially dangerous when playing as visitors. They’ve scored more than 5 times in their previous 3 away games and should be taken into account for those of you who’d like to make a goal-related bet.

Osasuna already won against Deportivo Alaves this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

They may be favoured to win, but the home team are still playing at an extreme disadvantage because a lot of their players suffered an injury recently. David García, Rubén Peña, Ante Budimir, José Arnáiz, Raúl García will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

Thankfully, Alaves will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.53.
