>Deportivo Alavés vs Valencia Prediction & Betting Tips – 15/09/2026
Mendizorroza plays host to a fascinating early-season clash on 15 September as Deportivo Alavés welcome Valencia in La Liga matchday four. The contrast in fortunes could hardly be starker. Quique Sánchez Flores's side sit fifth with seven points from three outings, buoyed by a thumping victory over Osasuna. Carlos Corberán's Valencia, meanwhile, languish in eighteenth on a single point, still reeling from a five-nil hammering at the hands of Barcelona. For the visitors, this fixture already carries the weight of a relegation six-pointer.
Match Analysis
Deportivo Alavés arrive at Mendizorroza as clear favourites at 2.00, backed by a WWDWW start that places them 2nd in La Liga. Their 5-2 demolition of Osasuna and 3-0 win over Getafe underline genuine early-season dominance.
- 1.7 goals scored per game and just 0.3 conceded across three La Liga rounds.
- 14 shots per game generated, making Alavés one of the division's most aggressive attacking sides.
- 3 wins from last 5 H2H meetings, including a 1-0 home victory in May 2025.
- Home fortress at Mendizorroza amplified by Valencia's fragile confidence after a 0-5 collapse at Barcelona.
Valencia arrive at 4.00 in alarming disarray, rooted in the bottom three with just 1 point and an LLLDD run. A 0-5 thrashing at Barcelona exposed deep structural problems, now compounded by a wave of fresh injury absences.
- Diakhaby, Foulquier, Rioja, and Sadiq all ruled out, decimating Corberán's squad depth.
- Valencia average just 0.3 goals scored per game while conceding 1.3, the worst ratio in the division.
- 9 shots per game generated, offering little evidence they can threaten a well-organised Alavés defence.
Key point: With Valencia's attack so muted at 0.3 goals per game, the under 2.5 goals market at 1.65 offers a complementary angle worth considering alongside the home win.

Our Verdict
The home win at 2.00 represents our pick here, and the data supports it convincingly. Alavés sit fifth with seven points from three matches under Quique Sánchez Flores, boasting four wins in their last five outings. Valencia, by contrast, have collected a single point from three fixtures and occupy eighteenth place following that bruising defeat to Barcelona. Carlos Corberán's side have lost three of their last five. Under 2.5 goals at 1.65 also merits attention given Mendizorroza's typically tight atmosphere.
