Match Analysis

Deportivo Alavés arrive at El Sardinero as the clear form side, sitting 5th with 7 points from 3 matches and the best defensive record in La Liga, conceding just 0.60 goals per game. Their away price of 2.80 reflects genuine quality.

• 0 Racing wins in the last 7 H2H meetings, with 3 Alavés victories and 4 draws.
• 2 clean sheets already this season; Alavés concede just 0.60 goals per match, best in La Liga.
• 7 points from 3 games places Alavés 5th, with an xG of 1.42 outpacing Racing's 1.34.
• Racing missing 4 players: Andrés Martín (knee), Eriksson, Luque, and Pablo Ramón all absent or doubtful.

Racing Santander sit 10th with just 4 points and face a defensive crisis at home. Despite Zabiri's recent hat-trick against Elche, their 2.38 odds reflect a team undermined by injuries and a damaging H2H record against this opponent.

• 1.50 goals conceded per match for Racing, among the worst defensive records in the division.
• 3 confirmed absences in defense, including key centre-back Andrés Martín out until mid-October.
• No wins in 7 H2H meetings; Racing have failed to beat Alavés across multiple seasons.

Key point: With both defenses disrupted by injuries and Racing's 70% BTTS rate, the draw at 3.60 offers value as a standalone result within the X2 range.

Our Verdict

Alavés's defensive solidity and dominant head-to-head record make the X2 (draw or away) selection the standout pick here. With just 0.60 goals conceded per match and two clean sheets from three outings, the visitors' backline looks formidable. Racing's home advantage is real, yet Alavés are unbeaten in five previous meetings, winning four. The away price at 2.80 offers genuine value, while the draw at 3.60 provides cover. Backing under 2.5 goals at 2.00 complements the selection nicely given Alavés's miserly defensive numbers.
