Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the La Liga match.
Deportivo Alavés are now only one point ahead of the relegation zone. They are unlikely to use Valencia’s mistakes in this match. Valencia are far from being afraid of relegation now and they even have a chance to qualify for a European competition.
Deportivo Alavés
Deportivo Alavés have scored 35 goals in the 35 La Liga games. Only 4 teams have a worse record. Deportivo Alavés had only 0.78 xG in their away game versus Athletic Club on Sunday. Even substitutions in the last 20 minutes never helped them (0:1). In their home games, Deportivo Alavés have taken 20 points in their 17 matches. Only Getafe (19), Las Palmas (17) and Real Valladolid (13) are worse.
Valencia
Valencia have transformed since the beginning of 2025, getting 33 points in 18 games. Only Real Madrid (35) and Barcelona (44) have been better since January. Valencia's unbeaten run has reached 10 games (6 victories) after they beat Getafe (3:0). The side seems to sell quite many players this summer, but their current squad is ready to do their best to help Valencia qualify for a European competition.
Deportivo Alavés vs Valencia Prediction
The teams ended their game in a draw (2:2) in December. Bookmakers underestimate Valencia now. However, they are likely to at least manage to avoid losing this game.
