Alaves vs Elche prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-10-04 12:00.
[p]Alavés face an unbeaten Elche on matchday eight of La Liga in what is a first meeting between the sides since the 2021/22 season. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]It’s been all action at home for Alavés this campaign, having scored and conceded in each of their home games this season, including in their most recent game at the Mendizorrotza when losing out 2-1 to Sevilla. Despite that reverse forming part of a winless three-game streak (D1, L2), including a 1-0 defeat to Mallorca most recently, one positive is that the loss to Sevilla is their only home defeat in their last seven home outings (W3, D3), so they’ll know that they are more than capable in the Basque country.  [/p]
[p]Few can believe that Elche, who beat Celta Vigo 2-1 most recently, remain unbeaten after seven games into the La Liga season (W3, D4), and they now form part of an exclusive group of only seven teams who remain unbeaten across the traditional top-five European leagues. To make the point even starker, Elche have now equalled the record for the most unbeaten games in a row after being promoted – shared with Zaragoza and Murcia – and could make history here after three straight away La Liga draws. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Alavés have won two of their four La Liga H2Hs against Elche (L2), and kept a clean sheet in both of those victories. The Basque outfit have lost two of their last four home matches in all competitions against Elche (W1, D1), which is double the number of defeats they suffered in the previous 11 (W5, D5, L1).[/p]
