Compostela vs Alaves prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 29, 2024
One of the second-round Copa del Rey matches will be played on Tuesday in Santiago de Compostela, where local club Compostela will face Alavés. I suggest placing a bet on the winner of this match.
Compostela
Competing in Group 1 of the Segunda Federación, Compostela’s season start has been challenging. After nine rounds, they sit 13th in the standings, staying clear of the relegation zone only on tiebreakers.
Last Saturday, Compostela played away against Real Avilés, ending in a 0-0 draw. Over their last five games, “Compa” recorded two wins and two losses. In parallel, they’ve also reached the Federation Cup final after edging out Poblense in the semi-finals (3-2).
Alaves
The Basques arrive on a five-game losing streak in La Liga, a streak they haven’t matched since April 2022. Their recent home games saw defeats to Barcelona (0-3) and Valladolid (2-3).
On the road last weekend, Alavés lost 0-1 to Rayo Vallecano, placing Luis Garcia’s squad just a point above the relegation zone. Their defense remains a significant weakness, with 19 goals conceded in 11 La Liga matches.
Match Facts
- Three previous meetings between these teams saw the “Over 2.5” bet hit.
- Alavés scored in only two of their last five matches.
- Only two of Compostela’s last five games exceeded the “Total Over 2.5” line.
Head-to-Head
The teams last met back in the 2009/2010 season, when Alavés defeated Compostela twice in Segunda División B – 3-0 at home and 2-1 away.
Probable Line-ups
- Compostela: Rodriguez; Sanchez, Delgado, Rancano, Crespo; Lourido, Alcantarilla, Noya; Atadel, Diaz, Barreiro
- Alavés: Sivera; Tenaglia, Abqar, Sedlar, Diarra; Jordán, Benavides; Vicente, Stoichkov, Martín; T. Martínez
Prediction
Despite Alavés’ poor form, bookmakers see them as favorites, offering decent odds of 1.45 for a victory. We believe Alavés has the ability to pull through and avoid an upset. Our recommended bet: “Alavés to Win with Handicap (-1.0)” at odds of 1.72.
