Alaves is coming into this match in a difficult patch, having lost their last two games and only winning once in their last five outings. They have struggled to get positive results recently. Looking at past meetings, Villarreal has had the upper hand, winning the last three matches against Alaves, with those games often seeing a few goals.

Villarreal has also been finding it tough lately, losing four of their last five matches. This suggests both teams are not in their best form. Given that both sides are struggling and recent head-to-head games have been one-sided, this match could be a close contest. Based on the recent form and their history, Villarreal is more likely to get a result.
