Match Analysis

Alaves has experienced a mixed bag of results in their last three matches. They managed a significant home victory against Sociedad with a 1-0 win, but suffered losses against top-tier teams such as Real Madrid and Osasuna. This indicates that while Alaves can hold their ground at home, they face challenges when up against stronger opponents. Their defense has been reasonably solid, evidenced by their average of 0.8 goals conceded over the last five games and maintaining one clean sheet. On the other hand, Oviedo hasn't tasted victory in their last three matches, with goalless draws against Celta and Mallorca and a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Sevilla. Oviedo's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game over the last five matches. However, they've managed to maintain three clean sheets, hinting at some defensive resilience against less dominant teams. Their struggle to score is apparent, with just 0.948 expected goals per game, suggesting an uphill battle against Alaves.

Final Prediction

Alaves holds the advantage in this matchup, primarily due to their stronger home performance and Oviedo's struggle in front of the goal. A key factor to watch will be Alaves' ability to break through Oviedo's occasionally resolute defense. If Alaves can capitalize on their scoring opportunities, they are likely to secure a valuable win.
