Only the second game in the La Liga for these teams and it's all to play for here at Estadio de Mendizorroza as Deportivo Alavés welcomes Espanyol. Check out this preview!

The visiting Espanyol played their last game only three days ago, a Europa League match. That game was a home fixture for Espanyol, against Zorya. But now it's all about beating Deportivo Alavés!

Deportivo Alavés form and stats

Deportivo Alavés have only played one La Liga game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats from 19 matches.

Deportivo Alavés's previous game was a La Liga match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Levante. The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Girona.

This is expected to be a close game, with Deportivo Alavés perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Deportivo Alavés as a small favourite), we find nine games. Deportivo Alavés has won 3 of these, drawn 4 and lost 2.

Early season league goal statistics from Deportivo Alavés's 1 home game: 1 goal, 0 conceded.

Last season, Deportivo Alavés's league statistics were 13 wins, 11 draws and 14 losses, resulting in a 11th position in the La Liga. Over these 38 matches they scored 39 goals and conceded 50. Playing at home last season Deportivo Alavés managed 7-8-4 (win-draw-lost) with 19 goals and 19 conceded.

Espanyol form and stats

Espanyol love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Espanyol are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Europa League against Zorya. A 0-2 loss hosting Sevilla before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Espanyol in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Espanyol, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Espanyol manager David Gallego as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Zorya.

Let's have a look at how Espanyol performed last season in the La Liga: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 11 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 48 and conceded 50 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 8 and lost 8 with 20/28 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Deportivo Alavés-Espanyol H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Deportivo Alavés 2 wins, Espanyol 5 wins, 3 draws. 2 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
