Alaves hosts Valladolid in round 22 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, February 5th at Estadio Mendizorrotza (Vitoria-Gasteiz)
Deportivo Alaves has serious problems with scoring points in the championship, taking the 3rd position from the end of the standings. In January, the management changed the coach and appointed Abelardo. An experienced mentor must lead the team out of the crisis and maintain a place in the elite division. In the last matches, Alaves was exceptionally inferior to its rivals - four defeats in a row. The team has enough experienced performers with serious careers at the highest competitive level (Lucas Perez, Joselu, Pacheco, Lejeune, and Battaglia). But the statistics of all the team's players are not impressive. Expectations from Deportivo were higher before the start of the season.

Valladolid is another contender for relegation with big defensive problems (32 goals conceded, which is one of the worst figures in the league). Currently, the team is only one point ahead of the relegation zone. In the last five matches, Sergio Gonzales's charges gained only one victory over Getafe and tied twice. Valladolid's game is based on offensive actions. But the team clearly lacks pragmatism, especially in matches with direct competitors in the standings. The human resources potential of modern Valladolid looks good, but the problem for the team is the lack of a leader on the football field. The Purples need a player who can single-handedly determine the fate of games with the middle peasants and outsiders of LaLiga. The backbone of Valladolid is made up of such performers as Weissman, Marcos Andre, Pablo Hervias, Plano, Orellana, and Fernandez.
The statistics speak in favor of Valladolid, which has many away victories. But in the last matches, the vector of success began to shift towards the home team. However, Alaves shows a very weak game in the current championship and is in a game crisis. This plays into the hands of Sergio's charges, for whom a draw will be a good achievement in the upcoming confrontation.
Prediction for the match: Valladolid to win with +0.5 handicap
