Match Preview

Alaves have won their last three consecutive home games in La Liga, with the arrival of Abelardo as coach at Mendizorroza ushering in a run of form that was entirely unexpected. The hosts have started their clamber out of the bottom three in style.

Our Alaves vs Leganes predictions are based on the hosts’ form on their own pitch, which makes backing few goals and a home victory the way to go in our weekend La Liga tips.

Leganes’ brilliant start to the campaign seems a long way ago now, with Asier Garitano’s men likely to put more stock in their Copa del Rey quarter-final berth than Alaves will, which should weaken them up further.

Alaves vs Leganes Prediction and Betting Advice

Alaves have won four of their last five home games in La Liga, with the arrival of Abelardo leading to Mendizorroza turning into something of a fortress of late. Espanyol, Las Palmas, Malaga, and Sevilla have all fallen to defeats, with every El Glorioso victory also being met with a clean sheet.

Given that Leganes’ away form has petered out badly over the last month or so, Garitano’s side are certainly at a disadvantage coming into this clash. They’re winless in their last six away fixtures in the Spanish top flight, and they have lost the clinical edge that they would previously have boasted on the break. William Hill offers the best value on a home victory on Sunday’s midday kick off.

Alaves are in a desperate need of three points, with the hosts having only climbed out of the relegation zone very recently. They have a two-point lead over 18th-placed Deportivo La Coruna at present, but they must continue to extend their advantage while they have the chance to play out-of-form sides on their own patch.

As previously mentioned, Abelardo’s side have boasted an excellent defensive record at Mendizorroza in the Spanish top flight. They’ve kept clean sheets in all four of their recent wins in the Basque Country, and Leganes’ poor goalscoring record on the road only adds fuel to the fire of this petering out as predicted in our Alaves vs Leganes bets.

Betfair offer the best value on there being less than three clear goals in this clash, which looks incredibly likely given how goal shy Los Pepineros have been on their recent travels. They’ve scored in just one of their last five away jaunts in the division, and against an organised and hard-working Alaves, they could add to that disappointing tally.

Our Alaves vs Leganes betting tips suggest that the hosts will put in another solid, battling performance to carry them to another big three points in the battle against relegation. Leganes are poor on the road and El Glorioso will surely capitalise.
