Deportivo Alaves managed to bounce back after a disaster in their defeat against Barcelona in Mendizorrotza at the weekend. The team led by Mauricio Pellegrino scored three points by beating Deportivo La Coruna in the Riazor Arena, thanks to the solid defense they kept showing since the start of the competition. While in the Valencia camp they started the season in a terrible way, but they seem to have started found his best game in the last few matches, with the latter being a 2-1 win over Real Madrid at Estadio Mestalla. And the most impressive in the game, Real Madrid's skilful midfield and front-line have been completely neutralized by the Valencia defense. Alaves made a surprise by playing in the Copa del Rey final at the end of the season, and by this time they have avoided the relegation zone after undergoing 23 league games this season.
Alaves have three wins and one defeat in their last four games in all competitions. Nevertheless, they have been unbeaten in their last eight home games before being destroyed by Catalan giants Barcelona. Valencia has a poor defense line for most of the season. However, their new boss Voro is able to turn the team's defense into a harder one for the opponent. Valencia have recorded clean sheets in a row, earning four points against Real Betis and Athletic Bilbao before beating Real Madrid 2-1.
Valencia has won four straight games against Alaves. The first league match of the season took place in mid-September last year, which the Bats won 2-1 at Mestalla thanks to a Parejo penalty. The visitors are a much better team in defense, while the home side are a super difficult team to beat since the start of the season. The result of this match is not so difficult to predict, and we are pretty sure if there will not be many goals going on in this fight. The draw seems to be the most realistic, 0-0 / 1-1.
