Deportivo Alavés form and stats
Deportivo Alavés have performed here at Estadio de Mendizorroza this season with 3 wins from 6 La Liga 2 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 0. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
The Deportivo Alavés goalkeeper Antonio Sivera Salva is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 270 minutes without conceding a goal in the La Liga 2.
Alavés drew their last game, also a home match. Sporting Gijon (placed 9th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Defender Arroyo got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.44/10. Arroyo hit two key passes and won 7 of 13 duels.
In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting FC Andorra.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 5 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Deportivo Alavés as they are travelling to their away game against Racing Santander in the La Liga 2. That match is three days after this one.
Alavés are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. From these home matches, Deportivo Alavés have conceded only 3 goals.
Real Oviedo form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their La Liga 2 travels is 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
Real Oviedo are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the fixture against Malaga (placed 21st). Hooray; their first win in the league after eight matches not winning. Ahijado was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.61. The defender Ahijado hit one key pass and won 7 of 9 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Albacete wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.Oviedo are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 4 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.
A tale of few goals? 11 of this side's last 12 league rounds have seen zero, one or two goals.
The schedule is very tough for Real Oviedo now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A La Liga 2 game at Villarreal II is waiting in only four days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Oviedo's away games in the league this season with only {2 goals} from 5 matches. Real Oviedo's manager Díaz has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only {2 conceded goals}. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
