Valencia - Deportivo Alavés predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Deportivo Alavés are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Valencia should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Deportivo Alaves who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Valencia’s crushing away defeat in the last round was painful but predictable. Hopes were up for their fans at half-time as they maintained an unlikely lead, but it all came crashing down in the second half, ending in a 4:2 loss in an away game at Barcelona .

Top online bookmakers priced offered 2.95 odds on a home win in Deportivo Alaves’s previous game as hosts. Despite a mediocre first half, they pulled off a stunning 3:0 victory against Celta de Vigo in the end.

Experts have pointed at Valencia’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 La Liga games.

Deportivo Alaves are on a bit of a losing streak when it comes to away games. They’ve lost 3 of them consecutively.

Mouctar Diakhaby, Gayá, Roman Yaremchuk will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.50. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
