Venue: Estadio Olaranbe (19840 seats)

It's match week two of the La Liga campaign and a lot to play for. Check out our in-depth preview of Deportivo Alavés-Mallorca!

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Mallorca have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Deportivo Alavés form and stats

The previous season, Deportivo Alavés's league statistics were 9 wins, 11 draws and 18 losses, producing 16th position in the La Liga. From these 38 matches they scored 36 goals and conceded 57. Appearing as the host team in the last season Deportivo Alavés delivered 6-6-7 (win-draw-lost) with 21 goals and 25 conceded. Deportivo Alavés's first La Liga home game here at Estadio Olaranbe ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats from 19 matches.

Alavés's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-4 versus Real Madrid (placed 1st). Attacking player Joselu bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 6.94 out of 10. Joselu scored one goal.

Heartbreak before that as Deportivo Alavés lost 0-1 at Sevilla's place.

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 seven games. Deportivo Alavés has won five of these, drawn two and lost zero.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Deportivo Alavés at home in the league. 1 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
