Deportivo Alaves
- Alaves have failed to win in their last 2 home games (D1, L1).
- Deportivo Alaves enter Sunday’s LaLiga 2025-2026 clash in 11th place in the table with 8 points from 7 matches so far.
- This Deportivo Alaves vs Elche betting tips preview highlights that the hosts have won just 1 of their last 5 LaLiga games (D2, L2).
- Eduardo Coudet, who took over as head coach in December 2024, has moulded a team that is compact and physical in their 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 formation and will play with intensity in bursts.
- They look to press high up the field, but also sit deep to catch teams when they overcommit and hit on the counter.
Elche
- Elche are undefeated on the road this season (D3) but have yet to claim their first away win.
- Elche have made a much better start to the campaign, sitting 4th in LaLiga with 13 points after 7 games so far.
- Eder Sarabia has wasted no time in stamping his style on the team since being appointed in July 2024.
- He prefers a more possession-based game with more fluid formations and his men will press from the front, but they can also be patient in build-up and should be able to control the game for longer periods of time.
Head-to-Head
- There is not really a rivalry to speak of between these two clubs.
- The early-season momentum Elche have established will be the deciding factor here and forms part of our Deportivo Alaves vs Elche prediction.
