My Prediction
Villarreal by 2If you're planning your bets over a cold brew, let's dive straight away into this thrilling matchup. In one corner, we have Villarreal, in the other, Deportivo Alavés. Now let's get to the fun stuff and dissect this game like a school biology experiment.
Villarreal has the man himself, Diego Conde, between the sticks. His impressive stats speak for themselves with a hefty 10 saves. Maybe he's not just for show after all, eh? Deportivo Alavés's net minder Antonio Sivera comes in an absolutely respectable 6.75 rating with 6 saves.
Heading over to the boys creating the action in the field, Alejandro Baena, Sergi Cardona, and Ayoze Pérez are the shining stars for Villarreal. A particular shoutout to Alejandro Baena who's quite the maestro with his contributing goal and 74.0% accurate passes. Unfortunately, the Fortune's children are dealt with Gerard Moreno and Ilias Akhomach being on the motorized magic carpet, which could greatly affect their performance.
On the other end, Deportivo Alavés has some lads who know their make their mark like Joan Jordán, Carles Aleñá, and Kike García. Jordán has been on fire, notching 2 goals and banging accurate passes like no one's business. Though, Alavés won't see Tomás Conechny with them today. Poor lad decided to take a sick leave.
Going back in time, history echoes the voice of Villarreal domination in their past two encounters, including a clean sheet of 3-0. A glass of champagne for their past success but football is a game of today, isn't it? Villarreal comes in with a commendable regular season record of 12-8-5, whereas Alavés has been a little... how do I put it? Lousy? With 5-8-13.
Furthermore, the recent results seem to favor Villarreal, who has been carving their path with triumphs and draws. The Deportivo Alavés camp, on the other hand, well, life has been pretty tough on them recently.
But hey, football is a funny old game. On paper, everything points to Villarreal, but you know what they say about the unpredictability of this sport. The Gods sometimes don't read from the script.
