Betting Tip: Alavés vs Real Valladolid

ALAVÉS VS REAL VALLADOLID: Friday Night Action from La Liga.

The stage is set for a relegation battle at Mendizorroza as Alavés takes on newly-promoted Real Valladolid. The hosts had a brilliant start to the season, but with three consecutive losses and four defeats in their last five matches, the Babazorros are in need of points to regain confidence and climb back to the upper half of the table. Real Valladolid is in even more desperate need of points, arriving at Alavés with only five points from the first nine rounds of the league.

This season’s only win for Valladolid so far came in the season opener against Espanyol, but since then, they’ve suffered heavy defeats, none worse than the 0-7 thrashing by Barcelona. Valladolid has lost all of their last three matches and earned just two points from their last eight games overall.

Injuries and Suspensions

Hugo Novoa and Aleksandar Sedlar are the only players unavailable for Alavés due to injury. Real Valladolid will be without Cesar De La Hoz and the suspended Lucas Rosa. Marcos André and Cenk Özkacar are also doubtful.

Alavés vs Real Valladolid: Betting Tips

• Over 2,5, goals (2,21) at 1xBet
• Alavés to win (1,69) at 1xBet

Bookmakers heavily favor the under in this game, which I find a bit odd. All of Valladolid’s last three games have ended in a 2-1 loss, while four of Alavés’ last seven games have featured three or more goals. As of now, you can get odds of around 2.20 for over 2.5 goals, and we are definitely more tempted by the over in this matchup. We also believe Alavés will claim the three points in the end.
