Deportivo Alaves vs Valencia Prediction and Betting Tips | September 2nd 2023

Deportivo Alaves will host Valencia at the Estadio de Mendizorroza on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 La Liga campaign.

The home side have had mixed results on their return to the Spanish top-flight this season. They were beaten 1-0 by Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez in their last league outing, falling to a Borja Mayoral penalty kick late in the game and were perhaps fortunate not to have lost by a significantly larger margin.

Deportivo Alaves sit 14th in the league table with three points from an obtainable nine. They will be looking to shake off their latest result and get their campaign back on track in front of their home supporters this weekend.

Valencia, meanwhile, enjoyed a strong start to their season, picking up wins over Sevilla and Las Palmas in their first two games of the new campaign. However, they were handed their first defeat of the season last weekend as they lost 2-1 to Osasuna after conceding a second and final goal deep into additional time.

Alaves have lost three of their last four games after losing just one of their 12 games prior. They have, however, lost just one home game all year and will be hopeful of a positive result this weekend.

Valencia's latest result ended their four-game unbeaten run in the league and they will now be looking to bounce back here. They have performed well in this fixture of late and should come out on top this weekend.
