Deportivo Alavés form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Deportivo Alavés so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-8 (win-draw-lose).

Deportivo Alavés had fun at their own home (Estadio Municipal de Butarque) last time out, beating Athletic Club 2-1. Lucas Pérez and Rodrigo Ely scored. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Mallorca's place.

The end of the last match, against Athletic Club, was very satisfying as Rodrigo Ely scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Deportivo Alavés as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. The Deportivo Alavés manager A. Garitano Aguirrezábal has some worries about the defense as 25 goals have been conceded in these travels.
