Alavés vs Valencia: Over 1.5 Total Goals (-238)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As Alavés hosts Valencia, the stage is set for a match that could see the net bulging more than once. Valencia has struggled recently, managing just one win in their last five outings and averaging a meager 0.8 goals per game. However, they’ve been conceding at a rate of two goals per match, making their defensive frailties glaring. On the flip side, Alavés knows how to find the back of the net, especially at home. With Valencia’s away form looking shaky, their inability to hit the target—reflected in an xG of zero in their last five—only heightens the chances of a goal fest. The combination of Alavés's offensive potential and Valencia's leaky defense makes the 'Over 1.5' total goals market extremely enticing. Expect a lively match as both teams look to turn their fortunes around.

Alavés vs Valencia: Alavés Draw No Bet (-208)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As Alavés prepares to host Valencia, the recent form of both teams paints a compelling picture. Valencia has struggled on the road, managing just one win in their last five away matches, scoring a paltry 0.8 goals per game while conceding two. Their xG numbers are stark, with zero expected goals in their last five outings, highlighting a lack of attacking threat. In contrast, Alavés has shown resilience at home, making them a tough nut to crack. Their defense should capitalize on Valencia's struggles, turning the tide in their favor. With Valencia’s away record of 1-1-3 and the alarming trend of low scoring, a Draw No Bet on Alavés feels like a savvy move. Their home advantage combined with Valencia's recent woes suggests that Alavés not only stands a strong chance but could very well secure a victory. It’s a calculated bet with plenty of upside.
