Prediction Deportivo Alavés - Valencia CF today 01:00 16/09/2026.

Alavés has been maintaining a stable performance with a 50% win rate in their last 10 matches, scoring an average of 1.8 goals per game and keeping a clean sheet in 40% of their matches, reflecting their competitiveness in major tournaments.

The starting lineup of Alaves includes key players such as Lucas Boyé (scored 4 goals), Mariano Díaz (scored 3 goals, 3 assists), and goalkeeper Antonio Sivera (started 100% of matches), who are showing stability and effectiveness in their performance.

Flexible playing style with the 3-5-2 formation (used in 3 matches) and 5-3-2 formation (2 matches) allows Alaves to adapt well to different opponents, while maintaining a superior 'Tài' ratio at low goal thresholds (100% for the >0.5 goal threshold)

Third place in the league table after 5 matches with 10 points, a goal difference of +6, shows the balance between attack (11 goals) and defense (5 goals conceded) is helping Alaves maintain their position in the top of the table.

Alaves does not have a fixed tactical approach, adjusting formations according to the opponent, but this change can sometimes be difficult for players who are not accustomed to new roles (for example: Angel Pérez Hidalgo had to move from a forward to a center-back)

Alaves' defensive performance (0.9 goals per game) and clean sheet record (4/10 matches) are at an average level, not particularly impressive but also not overly weak.

The 'Both Teams to Score' (BTS) ratio reaching 60% shows that Alaves usually create open matches, but this also means a high risk of conceding goals if they don't control the game well.

Alaves received a total of 19 yellow cards and 1 red card in their last 10 matches, an average of 1.9 cards per game – a very high number, indicating a lack of discipline and a tendency to make mistakes during matches.

Inconsistent defensive performance, with only 4 clean sheets in 10 matches, particularly prone to conceding goals when facing strong teams (for example: losing 1-2 to Rayo Vallecano)

The absence of quality reserve players (Ander Guevara, Carles Aleñá, etc.) could impact the team's rotation capability, especially against a dominant opponent or during prolonged matches.

The clean sheet percentage only reached 40% in 5 matches played, indicating a lack of stability in the defense, despite a goal difference of +6, which still reflects overall balance.

Valencia has a stable core group of players with key positions such as goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski, defender César Tárrega, and midfielder Javi Guerra, who have been consistently playing and maintaining a certain level of performance in recent matches.

Some players, such as Filip Ugrinic and José Luis García Vayá, have the ability to create breakthroughs and effectively support defense, helping Valencia maintain balance in some matches.

Valencia is using the 5-4-1 tactical formation in 80% of recent matches, demonstrating flexibility in adjusting the playing style towards defense, but there is no clear sign of improvement in the attacking aspect.

Valencia does not have a clear playing style, with an "over/under ratio" of 1.39, reflecting a low balance between attack and defense, but it is not the decisive factor in the match outcome.

Valencia is going through a severe crisis with a six-game losing streak, including heavy defeats against Barcelona (0-5), Deportivo (1-3), and Real Betis (0-1), highlighting a lack of composure and competitiveness in key matches.

Valencia scored only 7 goals in 10 matches (average 0.7 goals per match) and conceded 15 goals (average 1.5 goals per match), reflecting poor attacking and defensive performance, as well as failing to keep a clean sheet in many matches.

Valencia received 11 yellow cards and 1 red card from 10 matches, showing a lack of discipline and professionalism in confrontations, while also facing serious squad losses due to injuries of key players such as José Copete, Diego López Noguerol, Sergi Canos, and Alberto Mari.
