Alaves vs Villarreal

Alavés have not won any of their last three meetings with Villarreal in LaLiga (D2 L1) – should they fail to win here, they would establish their longest winless run against the Yellows in the top-flight (4).

Villarreal have scored in each of their last 14 games against Deportivo Alavés in LaLiga (28 goals), while only against Athletic Club in 2012 (16 games) and Celta Vigo in 2024 (16) have they managed a longer scoring streak in the top-flight (14 also against Osasuna in 2007).

Alavés have 11 wins in 25 games against Villarreal in LaLiga (D3 L11); only against Espanyol (12) have they won more games in the top-flight (11 also against Celta Vigo and Real Valladolid).

After winning three of their first six games in LaLiga 2024/25 (D1 L2), Alavés have won just two of their next 20 in the competition (D7 L11) and lost their last two at home without scoring - they have not suffered three straights defeats without scoring at home in the competition since January 2006 (L3).

Villarreal have won their last two away games in LaLiga and could win 3+ away games in the competition for the first time since April 2023 under Quique Setién (W3).
