Osasuna vs Alaves Predictions

Osasuna can grind out a home win as Alaves road woes continue

Osasuna should be backed to beat Alaves at home in Saturday’s Primera Liga game. The visitors have been poor on the road this season, with just one win and one draw in six away games.

Alaves are four places above Osasuna in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. In the 36 games between teams in the bottom half of the table, 17 (47%) have been home wins, which would have shown a profit of 3.23 points to a one-point level stake.

Alaves lost 2-1 to Real Madrid last weekend in their last Primera Liga outing and could not break their losing habit. Carlos Vicente netted for Alaves, but they did not create many scoring opportunities. The result was no surprise, with Real Madrid priced at 8/13 to win the game.

Alaves are in a rut on their travels, having lost five of their last seven away days in the Primera Liga. They have not won any of their last five games on the road.

The visitors have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, scoring just three times in seven games – an average of 0.43 goals a game on the road. Alaves have lost three of their last four Primera Liga away games without scoring.

The visitors have been leaking goals lately, with Alaves conceding on each of their last five Primera Liga road trips. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 of their last 17 games in the competition.

Osasuna to win 1-0 at home looks a decent correct-score bet. Four of Osasuna’s last six Primera Liga games have had fewer than three goals and Alaves have lost 1-0 on three of their last four road trips.
