Valencia to end five-match La Liga winless streak this week at Alaves
Deportivo Alavés vs Valencia CF - 13/02/2022
4241
Alaves are mired in a relegation fight in La Liga. Deportivo have lost three straight matches in La Liga and are desperately in need of a win this weekend.
Valencia will visit Alaves on Sunday as they seek an end to a five-match La Liga winless streak. Los Che are 11th in the La Liga standings ahead of Sunday’s match in Alaves. Pepe Bordalas’s team are six points off of fifth-place Atletico Madrid in the race for European qualification.
A win against Alaves could be a major boost to Valencia’s fight for the top five. While Valencia have struggled recently in La Liga, they have played well in the Copa del Rey. Overall, Bordalas’s team is unbeaten in their last three games.
In midweek, Valencia claimed a 1-1 draw at full-time in the Copa del Rey versus Athletic Bilbao. Yet, La Liga is a struggle for Valencia. They collected just five points from the last 18 points available in the division.
Alaves picked up two points from the last 18 points available in La Liga. They were outscored 14-4 across their last six games in La Liga. Alaves have allowed La Liga’s second-most goals with 38.
Valencia have not been very good defensively either. They have conceded 36 goals, the third-most in the division. Valencia have scored La Liga’s fifth-most goals with 35.
The reverse fixture between these teams saw Valencia win 3-0. Daniel Wass, Carlos Soler, and Goncalo Guedes scored the goals for Los Che. Valencia are unbeaten in their last six La Liga games versus Alaves.
Alaves have picked up a mere 12 points at home in La Liga from 36 points possible. They are –6 in goals at home. Although Valencia lost their last two road games in La Liga, they have posted a point total of 12 from 33 points possible on the road. They are –6 in goals away from Mestalla.
Bordalas has three players on the injury list. Defender Hugo Guillamon is a doubt while goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen is a doubt with a muscle injury. Defender Gabriel Paulista has a hamstring injury that could keep him out of action.
Alaves Jose Luis Mendilibar has no new injury issues going into the game. Unfortunately, Alaves are in such poor form that they will suffer another defeat at the hands of Valencia. It should be a closer game than the reverse fixture at Mestalla.
Both teams should find the back of the net and over 2.5 goals should be scored between Alaves and Valencia.
