LaLiga, Venue: Estadio de Mendizorroza (Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain)
Kickoff:
08 Mar 2025
Struggling Alavés Seeks Home Breakthrough
Deportivo Alavés is desperate to turn things around at Estadio de Mendizorroza as they welcome a confident Villarreal side next March. The home team's form has been nothing short of disappointing, especially in front of their own fans. Can you believe they haven't managed a single win in their last five home games? That's right – zero victories, two draws, and three losses. Ouch!Coudet's men have struggled to find the back of the net at home, scoring just twice while conceding five. Their overall form isn't much better with just one win in their last ten matches. That lone victory did come in impressive fashion though – a 3-1 away triumph against Real Betis back in January. But since then? It's been tough sledding for the Vitoria-Gasteiz outfit.

Yellow Submarine Surfacing as Road Warriors
Villarreal, on the other hand, is riding a wave of confidence heading into this fixture. Marcelino's squad has been absolutely cooking lately, with five wins, three draws, and just one defeat in their last nine outings. They've been banging in goals for fun – 20 in total – while maintaining a solid defensive shape, allowing just eight.What's particularly impressive is their away form. Three wins from their last five road games? That's the kind of record that gives traveling supporters something to cheer about! Their recent 1-0 victory at Rayo Vallecano showed their gritty side, while the 5-2 demolition of Leganés back in December demonstrated their attacking firepower. With 9 goals scored and only 5 conceded on their travels, the Yellow Submarine has proven they know how to navigate hostile waters.
Stats Point to Clear Favorite
The numbers don't lie, folks. With Alavés winless at home and Villarreal snagging victories on the road, the bookies have this one leaning toward the visitors. Villarreal enters with a 38.7% chance of victory compared to Alavés' 31.6%, with the draw sitting at 29.7%.It's a tale of two teams headed in opposite directions. Alavés has been leaking goals while struggling to score, managing just 11 goals while conceding 13 in their last ten matches. Meanwhile, Villarreal has been both prolific in attack and solid at the back.The recent home losses to Espanyol and Getafe (both by 0-1 scorelines) must be concerning for Coudet. How do you fix a team that can't score at home? That's the million-dollar question he needs to answer before this matchup.

Mendizorroza Awaits a Springtime Showdown
When these teams meet on March 8th, 2025, the atmosphere at Estadio de Mendizorroza should be electric despite the home team's struggles. Sometimes all it takes is one big performance to turn a season around.For Alavés, this match represents an opportunity to finally give their home supporters something to cheer about. For Villarreal, it's a chance to continue their impressive form and solidify their position in the table.Will Alavés find their scoring boots? Can Villarreal continue their road success? The beautiful game always has surprises in store, and this LaLiga clash promises to deliver plenty of drama when these Spanish sides lock horns in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
