Alaves hosts Leganes in round 17 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, December 13th at Estadio Mendizorrotza (Vitoria-Gasteiz)
Alaves currently occupies the fifteenth line of the Spanish LaLiga standings. The team plays quite well at home, and there were only two defeats to Real Madrid (1:2) and Sevilla in September. Alaves quite actively struggles with the rest of the clubs to take points in the home field. Yes, the team’s ambitions to qualify at least for the Europa League are hardly feasible, but the club is simply obliged to maintain its positions at least in the middle of the standings. As for the last five head-to-head meetings with Leganes, there have been three draws, one away loss and one victory on the opponent’s pitch. Given the precarious position in the standings, the home meetings are a great opportunity for a team to score points. Of course, Alaves counts on a victory and three points or at least one in case of a draw. But the defeat to such an opponent as Leganes will raise a lot of questions, perhaps even rotation in the squad, so Alaves cannot afford to misfire.

Leganes takes the penultimate place with nine points and only two wins in sixteen rounds of this season. In fact, the team has as many points as Espanyol (the last place) and the clubs have only the difference in goals scored and conceded. Leganes gained both victories at the home stadium - over Celta that is located immediately above Leganes in the relegation zone, and Mallorca that takes one position above the relegation zone. As for the remaining matches, the rivals were completely superior, so the team suffered as many as thirteen defeats and gained three draws. Even the goal statistics are very sad, namely 11 to 27. It is very doubtful that Leganes will magically transform and win in the next match. And the odds offered by the bookmakers can probably be regarded as just a tricky move of the “uncertainty in the favorite”.
At the current stage, the hosts are in quite a good shape and count on points at their stadium. The visitors, in turn, could not gain a single victory away and beat only clubs that are similar to them in terms of game shape this season. Most likely, we will see most of the attacks from Alaves, which will result in taking superiority and victory. However, do not underestimate the probability of a draw; therefore, a zero handicap for a very interesting coefficient looks the best bet. Bet for yourself!
Prediction for the match: Alaves to win with 0.0 handicap
