Deportivo Alavés v Málaga CF
Our call
We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.
Deportivo Alavés v Málaga CF is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.
Preview
This battle of struggling sides favors Alavés as they face a Málaga team that simply cannot create enough danger. Both teams are suffering through their poorest spells for making chances and protecting their goals, but the visitors are particularly weak when traveling. They have been out-played in every away game lately. While Alavés lose a key defender to a cruciate ligament injury, Málaga are missing their entire midfield engine until at least 20 November. This leaves them without the passing needed to feed Adrián Niño, who has three goals in five games. Alavés will dictate the flow and should win. The visitors' inability to build play from the middle will decide it.
