Espanyol-Alaves

Espanyol and Alaves are set for a closely contested match. When examining their head-to-head history, Espanyol has a slight edge with three wins in the last five encounters. However, Alaves secured a win in their most recent meeting back in 2022.

Espanyol’s recent form has been inconsistent, with a notable victory against Rayo Vallecano but suffering losses against Real Sociedad and Valladolid. They managed to secure a draw against the formidable Atlético Madrid, showing their resilience.

On the other hand, Alaves comes into this clash with a stronger recent performance, having beaten Las Palmas and pulled off an impressive win against Real Sociedad. Their draw against Betis and close matches against Celta Vigo and Osasuna indicate that they are competitive.

In terms of both teams scoring (BTTS), both sides have shown vulnerability in defense recently, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see goals from both ends.

The likelihood of the match seeing more than 2.5 goals is moderate, considering both teams have had recent games with mixed goal counts. Given their current form and head-to-head history, this match could be an evenly contested affair, featuring a blend of defensive and attacking play.
