Deportivo Alavés vs Villarreal: match statistics
Villarreal presents significantly better form and league standing (4th place) compared to Deportivo Alaves (16th place). The visitors have won 3 of their last 5 matches, securing 1.8 PPG, while the hosts have failed to win any of their last 5 fixtures (0.4 PPG). Villarreal boasts a much higher away shooting efficiency (15% shot conversion vs the hosts' 9%) and less frequently finishes matches without scoring (15% FTS% vs 23%). Although Alaves maintains a positive home goal difference (+1 GD) and better ball possession (51%), their poor current form and Villarreal's qualitative superiority (17 wins this season vs 7) strongly advocate for an away victory. Furthermore, xG statistics reveal that Villarreal creates solid chances (1.07 xG), which, coupled with Alaves' weakened defense (1.15 average goals conceded at home), provides a realistic opportunity for the visiting team to secure all three points.
