Alaves is now in the relegation zone after many unsatisfactory results in recent months. They have only managed to win one game in their last 14 matches. They even lost to the weakest away team in their last home game, with a score of 0:1 against Espanyol. They have now gone six consecutive home games without a win, and all six have had under 2.5 goals.
Villarreal's last match was postponed due to bad weather. This means they missed the opportunity to close the gap to the top 4, but they can do so with a win now. Villarreal is unbeaten in their last six matches, winning four of them. This includes their last two away games, which they won against Rayo Vallecano and Las Palmas.
Prediction: X2 double chanceIt's hard to choose a win for Alaves in this match, considering the performances of both teams so far. Even a direct win for Villarreal could be considered, but securing a double chance for the away team is not a bad option at all.
