Deportivo Alavés form and stats

Deportivo Alavés have played three La Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Alavés are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 385 minutes without scoring a league goal. Joselu was the last player to find the net.

No payout for Deportivo Alavés in their previous match, an away game at Espanyol that ended in defeat 0-1. Midfielder Tomás Pina was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.14 (out of ten) in that game. Pina had 22 successful passes (of 25 total).

Before that game, the home loss against Osasuna with the scoreline 0-2.

The lack of attacking qualities in Alavés means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Alavés are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (7 from 3 played).

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Athletic Club.
