Deportivo Alavés form and stats

42 points is a decent return from 19 La Liga 2 games here at Estadio de Mendizorroza for Deportivo Alavés. The data says 12 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss.

In their previous game, the manager Plaza led his Alavés to a defeat away at Levante. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio de Mendizorroza. The first loss after collecting points in five league fixtures.

Ahead of that match, Deportivo Alavés won a home game hosting Leganes (2-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Deportivo Alavés have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.

It should be considered that a look at the 10 latest league fixtures shows that 9 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).

Deportivo Alavés are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 25 goals in 19 games. Defensively Alavés have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (9 in 19 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Granada form and stats

There's been little loot from Granada's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 19 away games in the La Liga 2. Granada only have 4 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 4 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Fernández, the Granada manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Granada played 1-1 against Eibar in their previous match. Quini, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.35. Quini hit one key pass and won 12 of 20 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Racing Santander wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Granada have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 11 games were 3 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats.

Few goals the story here? 24 of this team's last 32 league matches have had two or less goals.

The attacking power of Granada when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 19 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Granada have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is what happened when the contenders played each other previously this season; Granada - Deportivo Alavés 3-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last nine matches): Alavés two wins, zero draws and Granada seven victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less. The matches between these sides have had a tendency to be hot-tempered, having seen 6 red cards from the last nine encounters.
