Current streaks

Recent form

Deportivo Alavés

Deportivo Alavés are currently struggling in the relegation zone, sitting 19th in La Liga with 22 points from 24 games. Their recent form has been patchy, with only one win in their last six matches. The Basque side have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games, highlighting their defensive frailties. Their most recent outing was a high-scoring 3-3 draw against Leganés, which bucked the trend of their generally low-scoring affairs, as 67% of their last six matches have seen under 2.5 goals. Alavés have shown some attacking promise, scoring seven goals in their last six games, but their defensive record is a concern, conceding eight in the same period. Their sole victory in this run came in an impressive 3-1 away win at Real Betis, demonstrating that they are capable of causing upsets despite their league position.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with their last six games yielding two wins, three draws, and one loss. The team have been difficult to beat, losing only once in this period, but have struggled to convert draws into victories. Espanyol's defence has been relatively solid, conceding an average of just one goal per game, while their attack has been modest, scoring 1.17 goals per game. A notable highlight was their impressive 1-0 victory over Real Madrid, demonstrating their ability to compete with top-tier opposition. The team have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their last six matches featuring under 2.5 goals. However, both teams have scored in 83% of these games, indicating that while Espanyol are not involved in high-scoring encounters, they are consistently finding the back of the net.

Recent home/away form

Deportivo Alavés

Deportivo Alavés have been struggling for form at home, failing to secure a victory in their last five matches at the Mendizorrotza Stadium. Their most recent home win came against RCD Mallorca on 1st November 2024, which was followed by a concerning run of three draws and two losses. The Basque side have been particularly goal-shy, netting just four times in their last six home fixtures, with an average of only 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, they've been slightly more solid, conceding five goals in the same period. Notably, all of Alavés' recent home matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of games featuring under 2.5 goals. This lack of attacking prowess and defensive resilience has contributed to their precarious 19th position in La Liga, with the team desperately needing to improve their home form to avoid relegation.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent away form has been dismal, with the team enduring a concerning run of five consecutive defeats before managing a draw against Sevilla. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 11 goals in their last six away matches whilst only scoring three themselves. Particularly worrying was their 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Girona, which stands out as a high-scoring affair. Espanyol have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games, and their goal difference of -8 over this period highlights their struggles both in attack and defence. With an average of just 0.5 goals scored per game compared to 1.83 conceded, Espanyol are finding it difficult to compete away from home, a fact reflected in their low league position of 15th.
