Alaves vs Valencia prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-10-19 19:00.
[p]Alavés will be looking to build on a stirring victory before the international break, as they take on a Valencia side who have struggled on the road this season.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Having staved off relegation by just two points last season, Alavés must be pretty content with their start to 2025/26, as their 11 point-haul is their most at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 2018/19. Seven of those points have been won at home (W2, D1, L1), where Eduardo Coudet’s men have been beaten in just one of their last eight league matches (W4, D3). Their most recent result here was a 3-1 victory over Elche before the international break, paving the way for Alavés to secure their first set of back-to-back home league wins since September 2024.[/p]
[p]Valencia will be looking to prevent that from happening, but their four-match winless away run offers precious little hope for the travelling fans (D1, L3). One of those matches was a 2-1 defeat at lowly Girona before the international break, extending Los Ches’ run without a clean sheet on the road to 18 La Liga trips stretching back to October last year (W2, D9, L7)! Boss Carlos Corberán may not be too confident of ending that particular run here, as Valencia are winless in 14 La Liga visits to Basque clubs (D7, L7), losing the last four without scoring.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Alavés are currently on their longest-ever unbeaten run against Valencia (W4, D1), and are unbeaten in six home games against them too (W4, D2).[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Alavés defender Jonny Otto faced Valencia 12 times as a Celta Vigo player (W5, D2, L5), with ten of those games seeing both teams score. Hugo Duro is Valencia’s joint-top scorer this season (G3), with each of those goals coming after half-time, including two in stoppage time.[/p]
[p]Toni Martinez looks set to sit this one out for the hosts due to a shoulder issue, while Valencia are without Largie Ramazani after he suffered a quad injury, and he is joined on the sidelines by Mouctar Diakhaby. [/p]
