In the 9th round of the Spanish La Liga, a match between Alaves and Valencia will take place on October 20, 2025. The home side made a better start and are aiming for another victory.

Our Prediction for Alaves vs Valencia

The team from Vitoria collected 42 points last season. That was enough, based on tiebreakers, to finish in fifteenth place. This season started reasonably well by local standards: three wins and three losses so far. Before the international break, they finished with a 3-1 win over Elche.

The visitors from "Mestalla" had a poor start to last season. Only a coaching change helped—under Corberan, they managed to climb to twelfth place, collecting more points than their current opponent, with 46. After the break, they managed to get almost maximum points at home — a draw with Real Sociedad and wins over Getafe and Athletic. However, their last two matches ended in defeats, against Oviedo and Girona.

Toni Martinez and his teammates score an average of 1.13 goals per game, conceding an average of one in return. Their opponent has a negative ratio: 1.25 goals scored and 1.75 conceded per match.
