✍️ Match Preview
Match Analysis
Alaves host Osasuna at Estadio de Mendizorroza in La Liga (matchday 8). Kick-off is Sunday 1 October 2023 at 16:15 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 7 matches, Alaves stand at 2W 1D 4L — 1.00 PPG. Last five: L W L L D. They are averaging 0.86 goals per game and conceding 1.43 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 7 outings (14%). Both teams have scored in just 29% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.
At home, Alaves have gone 2W 0D 1L in their last 3 home games (2.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.67 goals scored and 1.67 conceded per game. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.00 — Alaves are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Osasuna — last 10 games: 4W 1D 5L — 1.30 PPG. Last five: W L L D L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).
On the road, Osasuna have gone 3W 1D 6L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Alaves 1.00 PPG, Osasuna 1.30 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H
The H2H picture is flat: the 2 H2H matches we hold have produced 0 wins for Alaves, 2 for Osasuna and 0 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
Goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 1.5 per game across the 2 H2H matches we hold, giving Under 2.5 a clear head-to-head base rate. The most recent of those, on 10 Apr 2022, ended Alaves 0–1 Osasuna — a Osasuna win.
With a balanced win record and just 1.5 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.
In-Play Profile
Alaves in-play tendencies (last 7 games, 3 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 86% of their matches; of the 4 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 29% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 14% of games; they fail to score in 57% of games.
Osasuna in-play tendencies (last 7 games, 3 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 86% of their matches; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games; they fail to score in 43% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Alaves 29% versus Osasuna 43%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Alaves 14% | Osasuna 43%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Alaves 1.46 xG and Osasuna 1.82 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 0.945 / defence 1.271 | Osasuna attack 1.181 / defence 1.029. League average goals — home 1.502 / away 1.212. Alaves's defence rating of 1.271 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Osasuna's projected output up. Data: built from Alaves's last 7 games and Osasuna's last 45.
Result probabilities: Alaves 30% | Draw 24% | Osasuna 46%. Fair-value odds: Alaves 3.29 | Draw 4.16 | Osasuna 2.19. Osasuna hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS Yes probability 65% | Total xG 3.28. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.28 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 65% — both xG figures (1.46 / 1.82) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Osasuna as the most likely outcome at 46% — moderate model lean. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Osasuna offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.28 combined xG gives a 64% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Alaves's last 3 home games and Osasuna's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 65% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Alaves 33% (last 3 home games) | Osasuna 40% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Osasuna beat Alaves 0-2 at Estadio de Mendizorroza, Regular Season - 8, in the La Liga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Alaves 1.46 xG and Osasuna 1.82 xG, a combined 3.28. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Alaves fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Alaves attack 0.94 / defence 1.27 against Osasuna attack 1.18 / defence 1.03, drawn from 7/45 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Alaves 30% | Draw 24% | Osasuna 46%, with Osasuna to win its most likely call at 46%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 64%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 85% and landed. Over 3.5 was 42% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 65% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 29% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Alaves 14%, Osasuna 43%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 36%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Alaves's trading profile (7 games, 3 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 29% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 57% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Osasuna's trading profile (7 games, 3 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Alaves 1.00 PPG, Osasuna 1.00 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Osasuna win broke the near-deadlock. Alaves (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.67 scoring average — below par going forward. Osasuna (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.33 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
