Full Analysis
Estadio de Mendizorroza plays host to Alaves versus Valladolid in La Liga, Regular Season - 10. Kick-off: Friday 18 October 2024 at 20:00 UTC.
Form & Momentum
Alaves have collected 1.10 PPG across 10 La Liga outings this season: 3W 2D 5L. Last five: L W L L L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Alaves, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Alaves's home record at Estadio de Mendizorroza: 6W 2D 2L from 10 La Liga appearances (2.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Estadio de Mendizorroza. At home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.10 — Alaves are significantly better at Estadio de Mendizorroza than their overall form suggests.
Valladolid's overall La Liga record this term: 1W 2D 6L from 9 games (0.56 PPG). Last five: L D L L L. Their scoring rate of 0.56 per game is modest, conceding 2.11 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.11 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. 3 clean sheets from 9 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for Valladolid, so this record blends games from this season and last.
When travelling in La Liga this season, Valladolid have posted 0W 0D 4L from 4 away outings — 0.00 PPG. Away from home they average 0.50 goals scored and 3.75 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.00 is notably below their overall 0.56 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
Form favours the hosts. Alaves's 1.10 PPG return is 0.54 points per game ahead of Valladolid's 0.56 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.
Trading Data
Alaves goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (9 games, 4 at home): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in home games; BTTS occurs in 25% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.
Valladolid goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (9 games, 4 at away): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 100% of games (away games); they fail to score in 44% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Alaves 56% versus Valladolid 44%; no strong lean in either direction. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Alaves 67% | Valladolid 67%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Alaves 2.07 xG and Valladolid 0.75 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Alaves attack 0.880 / defence 0.968 | Valladolid attack 0.757 / defence 1.647. League average goals — home 1.427 / away 1.027. Valladolid bring a strong defensive rating of 1.647 — this is suppressing Alaves's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 47 Alaves games / 9 Valladolid games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Alaves 66% | Draw 24% | Valladolid 10%. Fair-value odds: Alaves 1.52 | Draw 4.17 | Valladolid 10.00. The model has a clear lean to Alaves (66%) — a 56pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 2.82. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.82 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Alaves as the most likely outcome at 66% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 24% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
Poisson projects 2.82 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 54% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 48% on No. Form rates corroborate: Alaves 20% | Valladolid 50% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Valladolid beat Alaves 2-3 at Estadio de Mendizorroza, Regular Season - 10, in the La Liga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Alaves 2.07 xG and Valladolid 0.75 xG, a combined 2.82. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Valladolid outscored their 0.75 projection by 2.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Alaves attack 0.88 / defence 0.97 against Valladolid attack 0.76 / defence 1.65, drawn from 47/9 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Alaves 66% | Draw 24% | Valladolid 10%, with Alaves to win its most likely call at 66%. Instead the game produced a Valladolid win, an outcome the model had rated at just 10% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 54%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 79% and landed. Over 3.5 was 31% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 67% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Alaves 67%, Valladolid 67%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Alaves's trading profile (9 games, 4 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did.
Valladolid's trading profile (9 games, 4 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
On form, Alaves arrived the stronger side — 1.11 PPG against 0.56. Form was overturned, with Valladolid winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Alaves (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.00 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 3 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Valladolid (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 0.50 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 2 against a 3.75 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
