Espanyol vs Alavés Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga
by Steve Ashfield in LaLiga Predictions
Newly promoted Espanyol host sixth placed Alaves in La Liga this Saturday. The home side have only won one of their four league games this season and are 14th in the table with four points.
Last season saw The White and Blue finish fourth in La Liga 2 and then win the play-offs. It's not been the easiest of starts for them now they are back in La Liga. Their opening game saw them lose 1-0 at Real Valladolid.
That was followed by a home loss to Real Sociedad, again the scoreline being 1-0. They finally got a point when drawing with Atletico but still hadn't scored a league goal this season. They finally did so in their next match.
That saw them get a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano but it was a real struggle for the Parakeets. They trailed in the match and needed a 96th minute goal to get their first league win of the season.
Alaves have earned seven points from their first four league games of the new La Liga season. The new term didn't start well for the Blue and Whites as they lost a lead at Celta Vigo and were beaten 2-1.
They were then held to a goalless home draw by Real Betis. Finally they got off the mark with a 2-1 win at Real Sociedad but had to come from behind to do so. They built on that win with a 2-0 home victory over Las Palmas.
We go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
