Alaves set to move top of La Liga table

Incredibly, Alaves could move to the top of La Liga if they record a victory at Leganes on Friday night.

The visitors are enjoying an incredible season, as they currently sit fourth place in La Liga, just a point behind reigning champions and league leaders Barcelona. The visitors have now recorded four wins in five La Liga outings, having beaten struggling Huesca 2-1 prior to the international break.

Alaves recent La Liga games have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last three matches.

The visitors have a mixed recent record on the road in the Spanish top-flight, winning four and losing three of their last seven games on their travels. In fact, Abelardo’s team have lost two of their last three away games in La Liga.

Their recent away games in the Spanish top-flight have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches.

Leganes are 18th place in La Liga after a run of four games without a victory in the Spanish top-flight. Last time out, the minnows drew 0-0 with Girona, which was their third draw in four league games.

The home side has been involved in a number of low scoring encounters of late in the Spanish top-flight, with their last six La Liga games producing under 2.5 goals.

Leganes have been a difficult team to beat on home soil of late in La Liga, as they have lost just once in six home games in the Spanish top-flight. Their recent home games in La Liga have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last ten matches.

Forebet predicts that Alaves will move to the top of La Liga, temporarily at least, by recording a victory in a low scoring encounter.
