Espanyol

The Catalans began the 2024/25 La Liga campaign with defeats at the hands of Valladolid and Real Sociedad before drawing away to Atletico Madrid and beating Rayo Vallecano at home. As a result, Espanyol sit 14th in the La Liga standings with four points, two clear of relegation-threatened Las Palmas.

Alaves

Only Novoa Ramos is out with a heel injury. Alaves began the season with a 2:1 defeat at Celta, followed by a draw at Betis and wins over Real Sociedad and Las Palmas. The Basque side is sixth in the La Liga standings with seven points, one point behind Villarreal, who is in the Champions League.

Expert Betting Tips

Alaves has made a better start to the season than Espanyol. Although the Basque side is in contention for the European Cup, there are doubts about whether they will have the same level of confidence throughout the rest of the campaign. The Catalans have come to their senses after two consecutive defeats at the start of the season. They didn't lose to Atletico, which means they have a good chance of not losing in their home stadium, and with Alaves at home, we wouldn't be surprised if the Catalans end up with a home win.
