Alaves vs Valladolid Prediction & Betting tips
From the Mendizorrotza we get the meeting between Alaves and Real Valladolid on Saturday afternoon. Both teams are in the right-hand row, but in principle have sufficient quality to escape the relegation dance.
Alaves:
Alaves is having a difficult time this season with just twelve points from as many matches. The team from Vitoria only had one point left in its last three games and lost 4-2 last weekend to PhD student Osasuna. However, the Basques are eagerly awaiting the meeting with Real Valladolid, because in their own Mendizorrotza the blues and whites are doing well this year. Alaves lost only one match for his own audience, and no fewer than eleven of the twelve points were achieved on his own field.
Alaves must, just like in previous seasons, mainly rely on her solid defense. In six home games, goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco only had to fish two balls from his net. With Lucas Perez, the team now also has an attacker in top form. The number nine is namely the very first striker in the history of El Glorioso who was no less than six competition duels in a row. The most remarkable thing about that series is that he only needed seven goal attempts in total.
Real Valladolid:
Real Valladolid is quite similar to Alaves. It is not always sparkling what the Purple & White show, but the team has enough quality to stay outside the relegation zone. Just like Alaves, Real Valladolid is one of the least scoring teams of La Liga with just fourteen goals, but last weekend it surprisingly shot out of its shoe by winning no less than 3-0 against PhD student Real Mallorca. “We hit the table again,” coach Sergio beamed.
Never change a winning team, so it is expected that Sergio will start on Saturday afternoon with largely the same eleven names. Midfielder Joaquin Fernandez is in the rag basket and will probably be replaced by Ruben Alcaraz. Sandro Ramirez, who scored his first goal in more than two years last weekend, also has a good chance of a base position.
