Alaves - Atletico: betting tip for the Spanish Championship match

Current form

Alaves is fighting hard for survival. After 33 matches played, Eduardo Coadeto's team are in 17th place in the standings, just two points ahead of the relegation zone. There are five more rounds before the end of the season, so bean shredders should never relax. We need to continue playing at the level that the team demonstrated in the last four rounds: two wins, a draw and only one defeat. If we can continue playing like this, then the club won't have any problems maintaining its La Liga registration. 

Alaves is not without problems with the squad. The main loss is the absence of a key central defender, Abkar. It will be quite difficult to close his position with someone else.

Disqualifications and injuries

Abkar will not play due to a hamstring injury. Jordan and Alenya's exit is also in question. 

Interesting betting trends

• Alaves won the last two face-to-face matches against their upcoming opponent.
• The hosts have won the last three dry victories.

The approximate line-up: Sivera — Tenaglia, Mourinho, Garkes, Sanchez — Blanco, Guevara — Vicente, Guridi, Martin — Garcia.

Current form

Atletico is confidently in third place in the standings. There is a feeling that Diego Simeone's players will not rise higher in the ranking and will not go down. The gap from Real Madrid, which is in second place, is six points, and the nearest pursuer, Athletic Bilbao, is also ahead by six points. It seems unlikely to win back such a gap and lose a similar advantage.

Unlike the upcoming opponent, there are no injured players in the Atletico infirmary, which, of course, gives the fans hope that they will be able to take the next three points. The only thing that scares me is the statistics of the last away matches, because over the past six games there has been only one win, with three defeats and two draws.

It is also impossible to ignore the fact that Atletico is one of the two teams that has conceded fewer than 30 goals (27). Only Athletic Bilbao has better results (26).

Disqualifications and injuries

All the players are in formation. 

Interesting betting trends

• On the road, Atletico have won only one of their last five matches.
• The mattress pads have been missed for six consecutive games.

Approximate line—up: Oblak — Llorente, Le Norman, Jimenez, Galan - J. Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Gallacher — Alvarez, Serlot.
