The game is also expected to feature more than 2.5 goals, with a 51% probability of this outcome. Currently, Espanol sits comfortably in the 5th position in La Liga, whereas Alaves finds themselves in a challenging 15th spot.
Match Analysis
Espanol has encountered a rough patch in their last three games, managing only a draw against Levante, while suffering losses to Valencia and Girona. Despite this downturn, they remain in a competitive position in the league. Their scoring has been sparse, with an average of just 0.6 goals per game over the last five matches, while conceding 1.4 goals on average. However, their expected goals (xG) metric suggests they could have scored 1.26 goals per game, indicating potential for improvement.
On the other hand, Alaves recently secured a win against Betis, but their form has generally been poor with losses to Atletico Madrid and Villarreal. Their attacking prowess has been limited, with an average of 0.4 goals per game in the last five, while defensively they have struggled, conceding an average of 2.2 goals. Their xG of 1.374 suggests they are creating chances but failing to convert them, which could be crucial against a team like Espanol.
Final Prediction
Espanol's edge comes from their higher league standing and the stronger home win probability. Despite recent setbacks, their underlying metrics indicate a potential to rebound offensively. A key factor to watch will be Espanol's ability to capitalize on their chances, as Alaves have shown vulnerability in defense, which could tilt the match in favor of the home side.
