Valencia form and stats

Valencia have collected 24 points from their La Liga home games so far after 6-6-3.

Valencia are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Osasuna. A 2-2 draw away before that, with Real Betis the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Valencia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Valencia as a small favourite), we find four games. Valencia has won two of these, drawn zero and lost two.

The Valencia fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 24 goals in 15 league matches. 18 goals have been conceded.

Deportivo Alavés form and stats

Deportivo Alavés, who have the the worst goal difference (-21) in La Liga, have only collected 10 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 2-4-9 (15 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Alavés have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Real Madrid game.

250 minutes! That's how long the Alavés goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco Flores and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Deportivo Alavés delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Villarreal (placed 6th) in their previous match; a La Liga game. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Huesca.

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

The attacking power of Alavés when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 15 league matches away. Alavés have conceded 27 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Deportivo Alavés - Valencia 2-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Valencia five wins, two draws and Deportivo Alavés three victories. As for goals, nine matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
