Espanyol vs Alaves Prediction & Betting tips
The favorite to win the match is the group “parakeet”, as it is characterized by being a tactical eleven and complicated to overcome in their stadium. For this reason and even when the visit is uncomfortable to overcome, we believe that the triumph of the premises is an attractive option to bet. Remember that Alavés is not reliable away from Mendizorroza, standing out for giving many many in this condition.
Espanyol:
The “parakeets” do not get well to this duel after losing 3-0 against Betis as visitors and stay with 35 units in the general table. The team cut a streak of several games without losing, being far from the decline and qualifying for the next Europa League. His goal until the end of the season is to climb positions in the table and fully ratify his proposal between the lines. Baptistao and Moreno will not play.
As a local, Espanyol has reaped adjusted and acceptable results, although irregular for their seasonal goals (7 wins, 4 draws and 4 falls, scoring 15 goals and conceding 13 on their fence). He has not lost in his last 4 duels at home after equalizing 1-1 with Barcelona, drawing 1-1 with Villarreal, defeating Real Madrid 1-0 and beating Espanyol 2-1.
Alavés:
The team does not get well to this duel after losing 3-1 to Valencia in Mestalla and stay with 31 points in total. He has lost 4 of his last 5 presentations, reaching 3 consecutive setbacks. Luckily for his aspirations, he took a good advantage over the relegation, as it brings 11 advantage to Las Palmas. Despite this football downturn, it is still a complicated eleventh to overcome.
The numbers of Alavés as visitor are not very good that we say, after winning 3 parties and losing the remaining 11 that disputed (11 specific targets and 26 received in their goal). He comes from losing 2-1 to Barcelona, defeating Villarreal 1-2, losing 4-0 to Real Madrid, stumbling 2-1 with Real Sociedad and losing 3-1 to Valencia.
Both teams met in the second part of 2017 and the result was favorable for Alavés in Mendizorroza (1-0 last November). The last time they played in Catalan territory, Espanyol won 1-0 (April last year).
