Correct score prediction: Osasuna 1-1 Alaves
Osasuna played out a 1-1 draw with Huesca before going on to win their Copa del Rey encounter in extra time a few days ago. They won three of their last four games across two competitions, as did Deportivo Alaves.
Not much separates these teams in terms of recent form, and considering the spoils were shared in their last two H2Hs, we believe that this match will end in a stalemate.

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Deportivo Alaves are coming off a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Sevilla in the Copa del Rey. While they have won three of their last four matches, it is important to note that two of those victories came in the cup. The visitors have struggled in La Liga, suffering four defeats in their last five league matches.
Similarly, most of Osasuna's recent wins came in the cup, and they managed only one win in their last eight La Liga games.
As things stand, Alaves and Osasuna are 12th and 16th in the Spanish top flight, respectively.
Bearing that in mind, Osasuna are the expected winners at 5/4 (2.25). Teams with these odds generally have a 44.4% probability of winning.

Most recent H2Hs: Osasuna have bragging rights
Although Alaves won only two of their last 16 meetings with Osasuna, it is fair to point out that both wins came in friendlies. Osasuna are unbeaten in 11 consecutive La Liga encounters between these outfits (W8, D3).
