Deportivo Alavés form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the La Liga this season. Deportivo Alavés have only managed 2 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Estadio Olaranbe.

Alavés travelled for their previous game, a trip to Barcelona that ended 1-1. Luis Rioja (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.62/10. Rioja scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Elche.

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 Alavés have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost one.

Deportivo Alavés have scored 3 goals here in 6 league matches, a depressing statistic. On the other hand, Alavés have conceded 8 goals.

Levante form and stats

Levante have only collected 2 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 0-2-4 (6 played). Levante are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Cadiz fixture.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a La Liga home defeat versus Granada with 0-3 on the scoreboard. Son was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.32. The defender Son hit one key pass and won 3 of 4 duels.

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Atletico Madrid.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Levante playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Levante win, four draws and two defeats.

The attacking power of Levante when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. The Levante manager F. Pereira Mejía has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - three - one (Alavés wins - draws - Levante wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight had two or less.
