Match Preview

Alaves have been excellent at home in both the cup and LaLiga since the arrival of Abelardo as their new boss, and arrive into the second leg having won their last five consecutive home matches in all competitions. Valencia CF, however, have similarly hit a spike in form of late.
Our Alaves vs Valencia CF predictions are based on the fact that the home side will be tough to beat at Mendizorroza, which makes backing a narrow scoreline in the form of a draw very tempting within our week’s Copa del Rey tips.
The home side have an away goal to use to their advantage, but the away side will arrive knowing that they have to do the same in order to play their natural game and avoid conceding a deadly late goal without any reply.
Alaves vs Valencia CF Prediction and Betting Advice
Alaves are in exceptionally good form at home of late, with Vitoria being a very tough place for anybody to visit. Getafe, Las Palmas, Malaga, Formentera and Sevilla have all fallen to defeats at Mendizorroza, with none of those five teams managing to get on the scoresheet either.
10Bet offer the best odds on a draw, which looks likely considering that both teams are in very good form indeed. After a blip of consecutive league defeats on the road in LaLiga, Valencia have turned things around with narrow results against both Las Palmas and Deportivo La Coruna, and head into this game with a few less injury and disciplinary problems.
Given that Marcelino’s men have only been defeated on three occasions so far this season, Alaves will have their work cut out to beat a team that have been stung from the first leg at Mestalla. Los Che’s coach was furious with their first-half performance and will not allow another sub-par performance in the Copa del Rey this time out.
Our Alaves vs Valencia CF bets back both teams to score, but this is more down to Valencia’s quality going forward than the hosts’ own defensive weaknesses. Luciano Vietto, Rodrigo, Santi Mina and Simone Zaza have all been scoring goals this season for the away side, and such firepower should mean that they are a real threat once again. Add Goncalo Guedes into the mix and Marcelino has a very powerful forward line to choose from in the Basque Country midweek.
Betfair offer the best odds on both teams hitting the back of the net, and there is a great value given the fact that Alaves have kept five consecutive clean sheets at Mendizorroza of late. Valencia have the tools to unlock the door, however, especially if goalkeeper Antonio Sivera has as poor of a performance as he managed to have on his first return visit to Mestalla in the first leg since moving from there as a player during the summer.
Our Alaves vs Valencia CF betting tips suggest that this should be a very tight and competitive game indeed, with both teams aware of the fine margins in play in terms of making their way into the next round unscathed. In the first leg, they showed that they could both trade blows on the counter, and this should be the case once again in Vitoria.
