Two of the sides sitting just above La Liga's relegation zone, Alaves and Elche, meet on Sunday afternoon. Both teams go head to head at Estadio Mendizorrotza on day 6 of the new La Liga campaign.
Alaves did well to beat Athletic Club 1-0 in the Basque derby before the international, but it has to be noted that defender Duarte was sent off in the dying minutes of the match. As a result, the 24-year-old is out of contention for Sunday’s clash. Elche, on the other hand, have been impressive at the back of late, with the team eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet in the Spanish top flight. Alaves went into the international break off the back of their first win of the season as they defeated Basque rivals Athletic Bilbao 1-0 thanks to Rodrigo Ely's second-half goal. It was a much-needed result for Pablo Machin's side following three defeats and a draw from their opening four fixtures. Furthermore, it was just the fifth clean sheet they had kept in their last 29 games – four of which have come at home. With games against Barcelona, Valencia, and Real Madrid to come in November, Alaves will know how crucial Sunday's game – as well as their following fixture against current bottom side Real Valladolid – really is.
The newcomers are likely to rely on their rock-solid defense in Sunday’s showdown, meaning that a low-scoring affair is on the horizon. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in a competitive game, the two sides played out a goalless draw. Last time out they drew 0-0 with fellow newly-promoted side Huesca but were perhaps lucky to come away with a point and a clean sheet as their opponents missed several opportunities in front of goal.
Although the sample size is small, Elche average both the lowest shots taken per game (four) and the most shots conceded per game (19) in La Liga at this early stage of the campaign. Coincidentally, Alaves average the second-fewest shots in the league at 7.4 per game, so Sunday's match is likely to be one of few chances.

Despite Alaves and Elche competing in a combined 37 top-flight seasons before this one, this will be the first-ever meeting between the sides at this level. Elche have played two games fewer than their opponents, due to their fixtures against Barcelona and Sevilla being postponed following those clubs' European involvements at the end of last season. Both teams will sense an opportunity to grab three important points. Alaves, buoyed by victory over Athletic Bilbao, may just edge it through home advantage.
So our Alaves vs Elche Prediction is Under 2.5 goals.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
