Alaves v Rayo Vallecano Preview
Alaves had a rough time of things last Friday as they suffered a 4-0 defeat out on the road at Getafe. That snapped a four-match undefeated streak of form that Alaves were on in the Spanish top flight. Even though Alaves are having a great season and pushing for a top-four finish, they have been a low scoring side. At home they have posted a W5 D4 record in their nine league games, scoring just the eleven goals in that sequence.
But their defence has been great. They have shipped just the six goals on home soil, with 44% of their home games only going over 2.5 goals. They have earned a clean sheet in three of their nine home games. Alaves have scored 7 of their 11 home goals in the second half of fixtures. Perhaps most importantly of all is that they have remained undefeated on home soil this season. In their last home game, they took a 2-1 win over Valencia. Despite their unbeaten home record, they have only opened the scoring twice at home this term.
Key-Facts – Alaves v Rayo Vallecano
- Alaves have conceded only six home goals this season
- Vallecano have put together a four match unbeaten streak
- Alaves won 5-1 at Rayo Vallecano back in September
Rayo Vallecano had a really tough start to the season winning only two of their opening sixteen games for the term. But they have turned things on its head as they have gone W3 D1 in their last four games. So maybe they have started to pull it all together. They won their last away games, a 1-0 success over Valladolid.
Overall this season they are just W2 D1 L6 on their travels in the league. Both away wins were by a 1-0 scoreline and they were against sides currently in the bottom five along with them. In total they have produced just the five away goals, it will be interesting to see if they can extend their current unbeaten form.
Alaves v Rayo Vallecano Predictions
Alaves to win: This has the look of being a low scoring game. Alaves are really tight at the back and don’t look too likely to slip up and lose this one. In fact, they may well be worth backing to get the three points in the bag by a one-goal margin at 11/4 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on January 24th, 2019 at 10:23 p.m.).
