Betting tips for Valencia vs Alaves - 17.03.2018

With Coquelin's last-minute loss, seriously injured, the Ché team receives the revelation of the second round, Deportivo Alavés de Abelardo, in one of the most interesting matches of the 29 th round of the Santander League. Valencia occupies the 4th position in the Santander League with 56 points in 28 games, after adding two victories in the first two days played in 2018 but losing in Las Palmas (1-0), in Vitoria (in Copa), in Mestalla against Real Madrid (1-4), at Nou Camp (1-0) and at Wanda Metropolitano (1-0). A broken streak against Levante (3-1), which continued in Málaga (1-2) and at home against Real Sociedad (2-1), before tying at San Mamés, beating Betis at Mestalla and Sevilla in the Pizjuán the last day (0-2).

The Valencia despite everything, live their best in a lustrum after the arrival of Marcelino García Toral to the bench. After having had another convulsive season, Valencia have opted for the Asturian coach to restore stability to a project that has not raised its head throughout the stage of Peter Lim. The Levantine side has the reinforcements of Serbian Maksimovic, a midfielder signed last year and nobody seems to expect anything; the Brazilian goal Neto, coming from Juventus, in which he was the substitute of Gigi Buffon in the last seasons; the Brazilian central Gabriel Paulista, from the Arsenal where he had many opportunities that, finally, he never knew how to take advantage of; the Colombian central Murillo; and the midfielder Kondogbia. Marcelino began a process of cleaning the squad, getting the players out as the Brazilian goal Diego Alves, sold to Flamengo; international striker Álvaro Negredo, transferred to Turkish Besiktas; the Argentine international midfielder Enzo Pérez; or the Australian goal Matthew Ryan, transferred to Brighton & Hove Albion. Last week the assignment of Joao Cancelo to Inter was confirmed as part of the purchase of Murillo and Kondogbia. Before the closing of the market, the arrival of forward Andreas Pereira and Portuguese winger Gonçalo Guedes, on loan from PSG, was confirmed.



El Alaves had a magnificent return to the Santander League last season, finishing in mid-table positions in the season and competing in the final of the Copa del Rey against FC Barcelona. This season things were not as good, after the departure of many of the team's banners last year: the coach, Mauricio Pellegrino; nor the yielded Theo Hernández and Marcos Llorente, today players of Real Madrid; nor the lateral Kiko Femenía, who went free to Watford; nor the central Zouhair Feddal, sold to Real Betis for 2.5 million; and the end Edgar Méndez.

The Basque team was bottom in the first weeks, until Abelardo took over the team. Currently occupies the 16th position with 31 points in 28 days, and comes to add 9 of the last 18 points.

Carlos Vigaray is out due to injury.

The Asturian duel in the benches moves to the field, with three Valencian victories in the last 5 games. The forecast is that more than 2.5 goals will be scored in this intense game, as has happened in the last 5 games (all of them finished 2-1 in the 90 minutes).
