Deportivo Alavés form and stats

Deportivo Alavés's results here at Estadio Olaranbe in the La Liga have been very modest with 3 victories, 5 draws and 7 defeats.

Alavés drew their last game, 0-0 away at Athletic Club (placed 10th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Celta de Vigo (1-3).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Deportivo Alavés have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won five, drawn five and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Alavés as they have a new game in only three days, a La Liga match thankfully also at home. Villarreal are visiting.

Alavés aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Olaranbe in the league, with only 12 goals from 15 games. On the other hand, Deportivo Alavés have conceded 20 goals.

Huesca form and stats

Huesca have only collected 12 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 2-6-7 (15 played).

The supporters enjoyed Huesca's previous game versus Elche (placed 18th), a La Liga 3-1 win played at home. Prior to that result Huesca won their away game at Levante. The scoreline was 2-0.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Huesca in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Huesca, three draws and three defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Huesca manager J. Rojo Martín as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Atletico Madrid.

Huesca are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 16 away goals from 15 games (in the league). Huesca struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 26 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Huesca - Deportivo Alavés 1-0 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Alavés won six games, zero matches ended with a draw and Huesca has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: seven / three
