Alaves - Granada CF Predictions

Prediction: Alaves or draw
Best odds: 1.25

In the vibrant city of Vitoria-Gasteiz, the Estadio de Mendizorroza is set to host a gripping La Liga encounter on a chilly Friday night. As Alaves and Granada CF prepare to clash on the 24th of November, 2023, all eyes are on the potential outcomes of this fixture. With the league season heating up, both teams are desperate for points, but the predictions remain shrouded in mystery. Will Alaves capitalize on their home advantage, or will Granada CF stage an upset? Let's delve into the key players and dynamics that could tip the scales in this tantalizing matchup.

Alaves' Key Players

Alaves, sitting at 14th in the league, have shown flashes of brilliance, thanks in part to the efforts of their midfield maestro, Ander Guevara Lajo. With a solid rating of 6.83, Guevara's ability to control the midfield and his total of 527 passes this season make him a critical component of the Alaves setup. On the defensive end, Rubén Duarte Sánchez, with a rating of 6.96, has been a rock at the back. His 10 key passes indicate his dual threat as a defender who can also launch attacks. Up front, the agility and sharpness of Luis Jesús Rioja González cannot be understated. With a team-high rating of 7.27, his 9 shots on target and 2 assists have been vital for Alaves' offensive endeavors.

Granada CF's Key Players

Despite their struggles in the relegation zone, Granada CF has players who can turn the tide. Samuel Omorodion Aghehowa, with a rating of 6.54, has been a glimmer of hope in the attack, managing to get 7 shots on target from 14 attempts. In defense, Ricard Sánchez Sendra stands out with a rating of 6.58 and 2 goals to his name, showcasing his threat on set pieces. Another defensive stalwart, Miguel Ángel Rubio Lestán, rated at 6.73, has been a consistent performer, contributing to the team's defense as well as adding a goal to his tally.

Recent Form

Alaves have had a mixed bag of results leading up to this match, with their last five games reading WLDDL. This inconsistency has left them in the middle of the table, with a goal difference of -6. Granada CF, on the other hand, are in a precarious position. Their form reads DLLLD, which has seen them sink to 19th place with a troubling -12 goal difference. Both teams are in desperate need of a win to boost their league standings and morale.

Head-to-Head History

Looking at the head-to-head history, the two teams have had closely fought encounters. Their last meeting on May 5, 2023, ended in a 1-1 draw, with Alaves hosting Granada CF. Before that, on December 2, 2022, Granada CF secured a 3-1 home victory over Alaves. These results suggest that there's little to separate the two sides, and the upcoming match could go either way.

Prediction

As the teams gear up for this crucial fixture, the prediction remains a challenging task. Both teams have shown they can score goals but also have vulnerabilities at the back. The key battle could be between the creative forces of Ander Guevara Lajo for Alaves and the defensive resilience of Ricard Sánchez Sendra for Granada CF. Given the recent form and the stakes involved, a draw seems a likely outcome, but with the home crowd behind them, Alaves might just edge it.

In conclusion, expect a tightly contested match with both teams fighting tooth and nail for every ball. The prediction leans towards a narrow victory for Alaves, with their key players potentially making the difference in a game that promises goals and excitement. The final scoreline might just read in favor of the home side, but not without a valiant effort from Granada CF.
