Espanyol vs Deportivo Alaves Prediction and Betting Tips | 14th September 2024

Espanyol

Espanyol will be looking to make it three wins from three at the start of the new La Liga season when they host Deportivo Alaves at the RCDE Stadium on Thursday.

The Periquitos have made a strong start to the campaign, following up their opening day victory over Real Betis with a 2-0 win at Osasuna last weekend.

Diego Martinez's side will be confident of continuing their good form against Alaves, who have lost both of their opening games of the season.

Deportivo Alaves

Deportivo Alaves have made a poor start to the new season, losing their opening two games to Real Madrid and Mallorca.

Javier Calleja's side were beaten 2-1 at home by Real Madrid on the opening day of the season, before losing 2-0 at Mallorca last weekend.

Alaves will need to improve their form if they are to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle this season.

Prediction

Espanyol are the favorites to win this match, given their good start to the season and Alaves' poor form.

The Periquitos have a strong squad and should have too much quality for Alaves.

Our prediction is a 2-0 win for Espanyol.
