Espanyol vs Deportivo Alaves: Match Preview and Betting Tips

Espanyol

Espanyol will be looking to make it three wins from three at the start of the new La Liga season when they host Deportivo Alaves on Sunday. Vicente Moreno's side has made a strong start to the campaign, following up their opening day win over Celta Vigo with a victory away at Real Betis last weekend.

Espanyol has a good record against Alaves, having won three of their last five meetings. They will be confident of taking all three points on Sunday, especially as they will be playing in front of their own fans.

Deportivo Alaves

Deportivo Alaves has had a mixed start to the season, drawing their opening game against Cadiz before losing 2-1 at home to Real Madrid last weekend. Javier Calleja's side will be looking to bounce back from that defeat when they travel to Espanyol on Sunday.

Alaves has a poor record away from home, having won just one of their last five matches on the road. They will be up against it against Espanyol, who are a strong side at home.

Prediction

Espanyol is the favorite to win this match. They are in good form and have a good record against Alaves. The visitors will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Real Madrid, but they face a tough task against an Espanyol side that is full of confidence.
