Deportivo Alaves vs Atletico Madrid Live Stats & Betting Odds
Deportivo Alaves Prediction – Can Alaves spring a surprise over Atletico?
Looking at the bookmaker’s prices on Tuesday night’s hosts, Deportivo Alaves, the home side aren’t given a chance against their more illustrious opponents, Atletico Madrid, but the odds could be a little over-inflated here and gives us the opportunity to perhaps exploit this.
The odds suggest that Deportivo Alaves are absolute ‘no-hopers’ but although they’ve lost their last 4 away matches on the trot, on home turf at their Estadio de Mendizorroza, Alaves have posted an early home record that stands at a very reasonable looking 3-1-1 5/1 which includes wins against Levante, Mallorca and Celta Vigo.
In addition, Deportivo Alaves have kept 4 clean sheets out of their 5 home matches to date this season, with only Sevilla being able to breach their defence on home soil so far this term. This therefore gives the hosts a decent chance of at the very least, in keeping the scores close in this evening’s clash against Atletico Madrid.
Okay, the hosts have lost their last 4 meetings on the trot to Atletico Madrid, but the home side have got off to a solid start at home this season and this will give them confidence that they can take something from this encounter.
Atletico Madrid Prediction – Can Atletico Madrid move top of La Liga?
All three points at Deportivo Alaves tonight could see Atletico Madrid move top of the Spanish top flight depending on how Barcelona fare at home against Real Valladolid, but Atletico Madrid may not get it all their own way at Alaves this evening.
The visitors bring a 6-match unbeaten sequence into this clash with Alaves which includes just 2 wins against Mallorca (away) and Athletic Bilbao (home) and 4 draws with Celta Vigo, Real Madrid, Real Valladolid and Valencia.
An away record of 2-1-1 3/2 includes just 1 win that has seen the visitors cove rthe -1 asian handicap to date (2-0 at Mallorca), while only 4 of their last 20 matches away from home have seen Atletico Madrid cover this asian line.
It’s true that last season they inflicted a heavy 4-0 win at Deportivo Alaves, but I believe the hosts have improved since then and have started in solid fashion this season, so Atletico Madrid may not be as convincing winners this time around, indeed if they win.
Key-Facts – Deportivo Alaves vs Atletico Madrid
- Alaves have won 3 of their first 5 matches at home in La Liga
- Alaves have kept 4 clean sheets in these 5 home matches too
- Atletico Madrid have covered asian line in just 4 of their last 20 away from home
Betting Tips Verdict
To sum up, Deportivo Alaves have a decent chance of getting a point out of this or at least keeping the margin close.
