Match Analysis

Alaves comes into this match with a mixed bag of results. They suffered a narrow 0-1 defeat away to Athletic Bilbao but managed to secure a goalless draw at home against Atletico Madrid. A hard-fought 1-0 victory over Sociedad highlights their ability to grind out results, especially in front of their home fans. Alaves' defense has been relatively solid, with two clean sheets in their last five matches, conceding an average of just 0.6 goals per game. Valencia, on the other hand, has displayed a potent attacking force, scoring an average of 2 goals per game in their last five outings. They enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win against Getafe and a thrilling 3-2 victory over Las Palmas, but their defense has shown vulnerabilities, conceding 1.6 goals per game. Valencia's ability to score has been supplemented by their expected goals metric, sitting at 1.518, indicating consistent offensive opportunities.

Final Prediction

Alaves' slight edge in this matchup stems from their defensive resilience, particularly at home, which might frustrate Valencia's attack. A key factor to watch will be whether Alaves can maintain their defensive solidity against a Valencia side that has proven capable of scoring freely. The outcome of this battle could hinge on Alaves' ability to stifle Valencia's attacking momentum while capitalizing on any scoring chances they create.
