There will be fireworks at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero as Elche and Alaves lock horns in a high-stakes relegation battle. As Elche have been producing fine performances at home of late, we predict a 2-1 win. Los Franjiverdes are aiming to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Celta Vigo, but their recent form has been encouraging (1.60 points per game), especially at home where they boast a 75% win rate and average 2.00 goals scored. The return of German Valera from suspension is a timely boost, adding further attacking threat to a side involved in high-scoring matches (3.20 goals on average).
Alaves, sitting just above the drop zone, are also struggling for consistency (1.00 points per game) and come off a heavy 4-2 loss in the Basque derby. Their matches are even more chaotic, averaging 4.20 total goals, with BTTS landing in 90% of their games and no clean sheets recorded. The fact that midfielder Carles Alena misses out through suspension supports our betting angle.
Given Elche's home form advantage and Alaves' recent struggles at the back, Home Win should be considered, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (high-scoring profiles on both sides)
This Primera Division match will be played on Saturday 9 May 2026 at 13:00.
