Alaves vs Valencia prediction comes before the 27th La Liga round matchup. This game will be played on Friday, March 6, at Estadio Mendizorrotza in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. In this match preview, we bring you some betting tips and correct score predictions based on the analysis of these two sides.
Alaves vs Valencia Betting Tips
Valencia is playing Atalanta in the Champions League in four days’ time, which is where their minds are probably at the moment. They need a big win over the Italian side to get to the quarterfinal of the elite continental championship. The trouble is that in that game, they will have no support from the stands. Such a decision was made by the UEFA as a result of the coronavirus outbreak in Italy.
Valencia have a seriously hard job to do next week, but they might also have some problems on the weekend. The thing is that they have several injured players ahead of their trip to Estadio Mendizorrotza where they play against Alaves. Another worry for Valencia is that this team is famously great at home, while poor in away matches.
With only 11 points in 12 away matches this season, Valencia is one of the worst sides when the performances on the road are concerned. Alaves are also poor in away matches, with 9 points. However, at home, they have collected a total of 22 points. Furthermore, Alaves has won their previous two matches on their turf, one against Eibar and one against Athletic Bilbao. Valencia’s previous three matches on the road were all defeats.
What’s giving the Valencia faithful some confidence ahead of the clash with Alaves is their head-to-head record. Valencia has won three out of their previous five meetings. However, when it comes to the h2h duels played at Estadio Mendizorrotza, Alaves has won their previous two duels.
For all these reasons, it’s certain Valencia is not going to have an easy job on Friday. In fact, it seems very likely the away team is not going to get all three points. Instead, a draw seems like the most possible outcome.
