After losing four of their first five matches against Real Valladolid in LaLiga (W1), Alavés have lost only two of their 15 matches against them in the competition since (W10 D3).
Alavés have only lost 10% of their home games in LaLiga to Real Valladolid (W7 D2 L1), their second lowest loss-rate to opponents they have faced at least six times at home in the top-flight, behind only Espanyol (6.25% - G16 W10 D5 L1).
Real Valladolid won on their last visit to a team from the Basque Country in LaLiga, 1-0 against Real Sociedad in February 2023, having failed to win in any of their previous 10 (D4 L6); only once in their history they have won back-to-back away games against such opposition in the competition (March 2004).
Alavés have won five of their last seven matches played on a Friday in LaLiga (D1 L1) while Real Valladolid have won none of their last 10 played on that day in the competition (D2 L8), losing each of their last six.
Alavés have lost their last three LaLiga matches but have not lost four in a row in the top-flight since April 2022 (L4).
