Deportivo Alaves welcome the visitors Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish La Liga – Round 21. The match will be held on Monday, January 28th, at the Estadio Mendizorrotza (Vitoria-Gasteiz).
Deportivo Alaves still stand their ground. Indeed, they suffer some failures away, like the 0:4 loss to Getafe, but at home, they are unbeaten so far, same as Atletico Madrid. The club’s management continue to highlight that their men’s main goal in this campaign was to survive. The miracle is still there at the moment. Alaves registered a draw against Sevilla and a win over Real Madrid. If there were inconsistent, they would not gain results. Will the team fall apart by the end of the season? After ten rounds, many thought they would, but they are regularly attaining points as for now. The away clashes against the leaders are really difficult. Why not present a challenge for a side like Rayo Vallecano then?

The ten points racked up in the last four rounds is a decent record for the La Liga newcomers. This will help in the fight for survival in the end. Rayo took points from their main rivals, which is great. They started to score, and they lost to Real by a minimum goal margin. What will the encounters with higher opponents bring? It is easy to compete with the ‘Royals’. There is no need to design anything – you just defend. What about Alaves? They are not rushing forward much and await the opponent’s mistakes. The previous head-to-head showed it all – the game at Vallecano’s side ended in a 1:5 hammering. Alaves continue to allow. The quality of their defensive line will be a defining thing in the outcome of tomorrow’s clash.
The odds on Alaves’ win are high. Bookies are still waiting for Abelardo’s men’s slipup. Their over 2.0 expectations may be reasonable. Alaves feature some squad issues and three consecutive rounds with missed goals. If another La Liga success is there, they will record the same number of wins as they did in the last league. Alaves’ calendar till the end of March is not that tough, the only concern is the ‘Royals’. We assume that the hosts will keep their position and will certainly be more likely to win in the coming encounter.
Prediction for the match: Deportivo Alaves to win with a 0.0 handicap.
