Valencia to record narrow win over Alaves
1677
On Sunday afternoon, Valencia host Alaves at the Mestalla, as Los Ches look for a potentially vital win in their hunt for Champions League football for next season.
Valencia are currently fifth-place in La Liga, three points behind Getafe, who occupy the last Champions League spot in the Spanish top-flight. With their rivals for a top-four spot facing a tough trip to champions Barcelona this weekend, Los Ches could take advantage and move back into the top-four.
Valencia head into this game in potentially low spirits after exiting the Europa League at the semi-final stage after a 4-2 defeat by Arsenal on Thursday night. Their recent La Liga form has also been inconsistent.
A 6-2 win at Huesca last time out in La Liga means that the home side has now won three and lost three of their last six matches in the Spanish top-flight.
Los Ches recent league games have at least offered value for money when it comes to goals, as four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
A surprise 1-0 defeat by Eibar in their last home game in La Liga ended an 11-game unbeaten league run at the Mestalla for the home side.
Alaves have slipped to tenth-place and out of contention for a European spot after a terrible recent run of form. In fact, the visitors have now failed to win in eight matches in La Liga, suffering five defeats in the process, including a 1-0 home defeat against Real Sociedad last time out.
The visitors have a poor recent away record in La Liga, winning just two of their last nine league matches on their travels in the Spanish top-flight. Alaves have struggled defensively in away games of late, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last nine La Liga games on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Valencia will record a vital victory in a low-scoring game to keep the fight for the top-four spots going into until the last day of the campaign.
