Alaves hosts Eibar in round 23 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, February 7th at Estadio Mendizorrotza (Vitoria-Gasteiz)
Alaves scored just one point in the last two rounds. It already slid to 15th place in the standings. And a gap from the relegation zone is only six points. For the remaining championship distance of 16 rounds, the advantage is very flimsy. The Glorious Ones scored not much - only 23 goals after 22 rounds. And they conceded 30 times.

I will immediately note that the goal difference of Eibar is about the same - 21-30. And the team scored only one point more than the upcoming opponent in the last two rounds. Both teams have equal points. So, they are neighbors in the standings, and the fixtures are approximately the same. The goals are also identical – no to slide into the relegation zone and save a place in the league. Opponents are equal in their capabilities and desires, as we see. And what to expect in a meeting of two potential fighters for survival?
Nothing special. It will be a boring match, with a minimum number of goal attempts and even fewer goals scored. Teams are not up to the spectacular game for the public - teams need to score points. In the last 11 head-to-head matches, they played with Under 2.5 goals scored eight times. Looking at the goal difference, we see that both opponents have less than three goals per match, on average. Eibar played with Under 2.5 goals scored 12 times in the championship. Alaves did it in 14 games. Most likely, the tactics of both rivals will be initially defensive. After all, one point is more than zero. And we are likely to see a very boring and cautious game.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
