Command Analysis

Compostela

Current form
Last season, Compostela could have fought for promotion, but they only finished seventh in the standings, four points behind the playoff zone. Now the team cannot achieve even these results and is currently only in 13th place, one step away from the relegation zone. The club managed to earn only eight points in nine matches. The reason for this is a terrible start - three defeats and one draw in the first four rounds. Now the situation has begun to even out - in the last two matches they managed to beat Guijuelo (1:0) and draw with Real Aviles (0:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad ahead of the cup match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has suffered only one defeat in its last five matches.
- The hosts won two games in a row at home
Estimated lineup : Rabanillo - Gonzalez, Casas, Crespo, Ocaña - de Prado, Caño, Selasi, Rivas - Cinta, Matos

Deportivo Alaves

Current form
Alaves showed an excellent result last season, finishing in tenth place in the Spanish La Liga. Everyone expected the team to fight for survival, but it ended up taking a comfortable place in the middle of the table. However, repeating this achievement will be quite difficult, because the team remains one of the most modest in the top division of Spanish football in terms of budget. The visitors are currently in 16th place in the championship and are only one point ahead of Las Palmas in the relegation zone.
Alaves' last five matches have ended in defeat. In addition to defeats to Real Madrid (2-3) and Barcelona (0-3), the club also lost to Getafe (0-2), Valladolid (2-3) and Rayo Vallecono (0-1).

2.52Tip and bets
The visitors had an unsuccessful series of matches and are probably planning to rehabilitate themselves at least in the national cup. The opponent in the first round was far from the most formidable, so Alaves is obliged to win confidently in any lineup. We believe that there will be no surprises in this confrontation and a better team will advance to the next stage.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Alaves for 1.73
Bet on total
There is no point for the visitors to sit in defense. The team has lost five games in a row and there is nowhere to retreat. In a match with a weak team, Alaves will try to feel confident in its strength and will attack as much as possible. At the same time, the hosts can take advantage of the gaps in the opponent defense and implement one of their counterattacks. Most likely, there will be a lot of goals in this match.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.80
Bet on corners
The visitors are far superior to their opponents in class and will certainly be able to gain an advantage in the score already in the first half.
Our prediction is a first half win for Alaves at 1.95
