On Friday night, Alaves and Cadiz go head-to-head at the Estadio de Mendizorroza in the Spanish top flight.
Alaves form guideThe home team’s recent results have picked up of late, as a 3-2 win at Sevilla last time out means that they are undefeated in three competitive games, recording back-to-back wins, as their previous match ended in a 1-0 home win over Real Betis in the Copa del Rey.
The victory last time out ended a five-game winless run in the Spanish top flight. Their recent games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous six Liga outings.
Alaves’ recent home form has not been great, as they have won just two of their last seven La Liga matches. Their recent home games in the Spanish top flight have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight games on home soil.
Cadiz form guideThe Yellow Submarine are currently in 18th place in La Liga, a point adrift of 17th place Sevilla in the fight for survival.
The visitors are winless in their last 16 matches in the Spanish top flight, having suffered back-to-back Liga defeats against Granada and Valencia.
The 4-1 loss against Los Che last time out ended a run of low-scoring games, as their previous six Liga games have all produced under 2.5 goals.
Cadiz have been poor travellers of late in the Spanish top-flight, as they have failed to win any of their last 15 matches on their travels. A 2-0 defeat at Granada in their last away game ended a run of three straight draws.
Their recent matches on the road have been low-scoring, as their last six away games in La Liga have produced under 2.5 goals.
What am I backing?Both teams have been underwhelming in La Liga of late. One thing that has been a common theme is that both have been involved in low-scoring games. With that in mind, the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
