Match Analysis
Villarreal travel to Alaves as clear favorites, with a strong league position, better form, and a superior attack. Alaves are struggling, with just 1 win in their last 8 and a leaky defense. Villarreal have won the majority of recent head-to-heads and are pushing for a Champions League spot, while Alaves are fighting to avoid relegation.
