Deportivo Alavés form and stats

Deportivo Alavés, who have the the worst goal difference (-20) in La Liga, have only collected 9 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 2-3-8 (13 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Alavés's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Alavés played 1-1 against Cadiz in their previous match. A 2-3 defeat away at Real Betis before that.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Alavés played away with similar odds. This revealed five games. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, one were draw and the home team won as expected three times.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Deportivo Alavés as they have only managed to score 12 times from 13 away games in the league. Deportivo Alavés have conceded 26 goals in these games.
