Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

When playing at home in the La Liga, Deportivo Alavés have managed 4 wins, 4 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 14 games. When Deportivo Alavés hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Levante, Mallorca, Getafe, Elche, Cadiz and Deportivo Alavés), they have won 2 of 4 matches!

Mendez was the last player to score a league goal for Deportivo Alavés and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Deportivo Alavés haven't scored in 214 minutes.

Alavés are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Real Sociedad.

Before that, Deportivo Alavés drew at home versus Sevilla.

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 four games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost two.

Deportivo Alavés aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio de Mendizorroza in the league, with only 10 goals from 14 games. On the other hand, Alavés have conceded 15 goals.

Granada form and stats

There's been little loot from Granada's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 14 away games in the La Liga. Granada only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 6 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Granada, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Atletico Madrid game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Granada might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Elche proved too strong as Granada slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes. Midfield player Milla was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.11/10. Milla hit the woodwork once, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 47 successful passes (of 54 total).

Prior to that match, the Granada manager Gonzalez faced defeat when travelling to Valencia and losing 1-3.

Granada are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and nine defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Granada as they have only managed to score 11 times from 14 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Granada have conceded 22 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The participants have met each other before in this season, with the result Granada - Deportivo Alavés 2-1 registered in the official records. H2H stats regardless of arena (last seven matches): Deportivo Alavés two wins, zero draws and Granada five victories. As for goals, six 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 rough and physical, having seen 4 red cards from the last seven duels.
