Deportivo Alavés Espanyol betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 14^th position of the league, with 39 points won, after 10 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Real Madrid, by (4‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Osasuna, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 8 points in away matches and 31 at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 18 conceded at home, against 14 goals scored and 32 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Espanyol has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (7 out of 17 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 35 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 17 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 17 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Espanyol come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Osasuna. Spaniard Raúl de Tomás is the player in charge of troubling the opposition defence and his main quality is his finishing. Coach Vicente Moreno usually sets up his team in a 5-3-2 formation, with Yangel Herrera, Sergi Darder and Manu Morlanes as the three players who will occupy the most central line of the pitch. The away team's coach is very happy to have the whole squad fit for the game.

Confirmed Lineup: Diego López, Fernando Calero, Sergi Gómez, Aleix Vidal, Leandro Cabrera, Darder, Yangel Herrera, Nico Melamed, Melendo, Raúl de Tomás, Javi Puado.
Coach: L. Ramis Monfort.
