Alavés Team Preview

Alavés have started the new season strongly and enter Matchday 3 sitting on four points. Their opening 3-0 victory over Getafe demonstrated their ability to combine attacking threat with defensive organisation.

They followed that result with a 1-1 draw away from home. Mariano Díaz has made a particularly impressive start, scoring in each of the opening two league matches while also contributing creatively.

Returning to Mendizorrotza gives Alavés an opportunity to protect their unbeaten start and put further pressure on a Villarreal defence that has conceded four goals in two games.

Villarreal Team Preview

Villarreal have also avoided defeat so far, although they are still searching for their first victory.

Their campaign began with a dramatic 2-2 draw against Racing Santander before another 2-2 result against Atlético Madrid. Villarreal's attack has therefore produced four goals, but they have also conceded four.

Finding greater defensive stability could be crucial against an Alavés team that has started confidently at home.

Alaves vs Villarreal Head-to-Head

Recent meetings suggest the Alaves vs Villarreal fixture can be closely contested. Their last meeting finished 1-1, with neither team able to claim all three points.

Alavés' current home form and Villarreal's attacking output make another competitive encounter likely.

Alavés vs Villarreal Prediction

The Alavés vs Villarreal prediction is difficult to call given that neither team has lost this season.

Alavés have made the stronger overall start and will have home advantage, while Villarreal have demonstrated their attacking ability by scoring twice in each of their opening matches. However, the visitors' defensive record suggests Alavés should have opportunities.

With both sides showing resilience early in the campaign, another draw looks possible.

Predicted Score: Alavés 1-1 Villarreal
