Deportivo Alavés form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the La Liga ended in defeat. Last season Deportivo Alavés had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 3, drew 5 and lost 11. It's looking increasingly bleak for Alavés who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Real Madrid was the last time a defeat was avoided.
The attacking players of Alavés have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 295 minutes.
Deportivo Alavés might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Osasuna proved too strong as Deportivo Alavés slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio de Mendizorroza. Midfield player Mamadou Loum was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.32/10. Loum dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 22 successful passes (of 27 total).
Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Valencia's place.Alavés are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, five draws and four defeats. From a total of twelve matches.
After this away game Alavés return home for a La Liga game against Atletico Madrid. That game is only three sleeps after this.
0 goals so far away for Deportivo Alavés, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
