Alaves vs Levante predictions for this Liga Santander clash on Saturday at Mendizorroza Stadium. Alaves and Levante both need the three points to climb up a few positions and move away from the relegation zone. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Alaves
After getting a very valuable point at the Camp Nou, Alaves come into this clash against a close rival in their best form of the season, having gone three games unbeaten, with two wins and a draw.
Alaves’ main problem has been their lack of goals, as, in 11 games, they have only scored six goals, four of which have been in the last three games, coinciding with the team’s improvement in general terms.
There have been two wins and four defeats for Alaves at home, which is where they will be hoping to achieve the points they need to stay in the league.
Levante
It has been an unrecognisable season for Levante, who, far from having a bad squad, have had many games and results not go the way they would have hoped. They are currently in nineteenth position, and the only team that has yet to win a game.
Levante also have the worst defence in the competition, lagging far behind other teams, conceding 23 goals in 12 games.
Levante’s games average 2.8 total goals per game, but, unfortunately for them, the average is mostly thanks to the many goals they have conceded.
Although, in theory, Levante may have a better squad than Alaves, they are currently playing at second division level. In addition, they encounter an Alaves team that are just peaking, and that are playing at home, making it even more difficult for Levante in this match. In short, we think Alaves will win this match.
