La Liga - Thursday
Two winners from two on Wednesday, and both at odds-against prices ensured a profitable night, and we are hoping Alaves keep the run going on Thursday night when they host Levante.
At first glance, there isn't much between the sides - with Alaves just one place above Levante in La Liga. There is already an eight point gap between the sides however, with Alaves within the mid-table pack, and Levante embroiled in a relegation scrap with Deportivo and Las Palmas.
Next we have some pretty poor away results from the visitors this season - they ave won just once away from home all season and have a 1-5-6 record overall.
Next we come to the upturn in fortunes for Alaves, who lost eight of their opening nine matches in La Liga and looked doomed before we even reached November. That sole win was against Levante by the way! Since then they have collected 25 points from 16 matches, which is the sort of form that sees you challenge for Europa league spots rather than finish in relegation trouble.
More recently, Alaves have also won eight and drawn one of the last nine matches at the Mendizorroza, and look excellent value to continue that run at 5/6.
For an additional bet in this match, Munir El Haddidi is very much in the shop window during his loan spell with Alaves, and he's been delighting the home fans this season. He's scored 10 goals in 20 starts for Alaves, but more relevant perhaps is the fact he has netted in seven of the last eight matches at home for the club. He's 23/10 to score at anytime with Betfair.
1.5pts Alaves to beat Levante at 5/6
2pts Munir El Haddidi to score anytime at 23/10
