✍️ Match Preview
Match Analysis
Alaves host Osasuna at Estadio Mendizorrotza in La Liga, Regular Season - 30. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 5 April 2026 at 20:00 UTC.
Form Analysis
Looking at all fixtures this season, Alaves stand at 3W 3D 4L from 10 La Liga matches — 1.20 PPG. Last five: D L L D W. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
At home at Estadio Mendizorrotza, Alaves have gone 3W 4D 3L this season (10 games, 1.30 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Osasuna — All Games: 5W 3D 2L from 10 La Liga fixtures this season — 1.80 PPG. Last five: W L D L W. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.30. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
On the road, Osasuna have gone 2W 3D 5L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.90 PPG). Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.80 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
The form data does not support a straightforward home bias here. Osasuna are 0.60 PPG ahead (1.80 vs 1.20), making them the form-guided selection despite the trip.
H2H
The previous 7 encounters between these sides heavily favour Osasuna, who boast 5 victories compared to 0 for Alaves.
The 7 previous meetings have averaged 2.1 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 20 Dec 2025, ended 0–3 with Osasuna winning.
It is worth noting that Osasuna have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 5 wins from 7 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.
In-Play Profile
Alaves in-play tendencies (67 games, 33 at home): they score before half-time in 58% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 30% of games (home games); they fail to score in 34% of games.
Osasuna in-play tendencies (67 games, 33 at away): they score before half-time in 39% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 30% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Alaves 52% versus Osasuna 57%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Alaves 40% | Osasuna 45%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Alaves 1.15 xG and Osasuna 0.95 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 0.836 / defence 1.050 | Osasuna attack 0.805 / defence 0.879. League average goals — home 1.558 / away 1.123. Data: 67 Alaves games / 67 Osasuna games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Alaves 40% | Draw 30% | Osasuna 30%. Fair-value odds: Alaves 2.50 | Draw 3.33 | Osasuna 3.33. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 35% | BTTS probability 42% | Total xG 2.09. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 65% probability — total xG of 2.09 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 42% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Alaves as the most likely outcome at 40% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Osasuna (1.80 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. With a 30% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Alaves 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 2.09 combined xG gives a 35% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 2.0 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 42% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Alaves 60% | Osasuna 40%.
The outsider holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.

Model Mechanics
Working from Alaves's attack rating (0.84) and Osasuna's defence rating (0.88), the model arrives at 1.15 expected goals for the home side. The same calculation in reverse, Osasuna's attack versus Alaves's defence, projects 0.95 expected goals for the visitors.
These ratings are built from 67/67 games of current-season data — a full enough sample to trust.

Where Both Sides Stand
Alaves's recent record stands at 18W 19D 30L from 67 games, a 1.09 PPG return, with D-L-L-D-W in the last five.
Osasuna, meanwhile, have gone 22W 23D 22L across 67 games — 1.33 PPG, with W-L-D-L-W in their last five.
Form-wise this is close to level: Alaves on 1.09 PPG, Osasuna on 1.33. Other factors will likely decide this one more than recent results.

Osasuna's away record stands at 4W 13D 16L across 33 trips, a 0.76 PPG haul. That's a step down from their 1.33 PPG overall record — away form has been the weaker part of Osasuna's season.
Comparing the two in their relevant venue splits, Alaves come out ahead — a more targeted read than the overall PPG figures above, since it strips out games played in the opposite context.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
The points were shared at Estadio Mendizorrotza, Regular Season - 30, as Alaves and Osasuna drew 2-2 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 1.15 xG and Osasuna 0.95 xG, a combined 2.09. The scoreboard read 2-2 for 4 actual goals. Alaves beat their projection by 0.9 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Osasuna outscored their 0.95 projection by 1.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Alaves attack 0.84 / defence 1.05 against Osasuna attack 0.81 / defence 0.88, drawn from 67/67 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Alaves 40% | Draw 30% | Osasuna 30%, with Alaves to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 35%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 62% and landed. Over 3.5 was 16% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 42% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Alaves 40%, Osasuna 45%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Alaves's trading profile (67 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did.
Osasuna's trading profile (67 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Alaves 1.09 PPG, Osasuna 1.33 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Alaves (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.94 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 2 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Osasuna (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.73 average — above their attacking norm.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (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.
