Alavés vs Villarreal prediction

THE FORECAST

Alavés stands stronger in the early league standings with 4 points and an impressive defensive record (only 0.5 goals against), while Villarreal after two draws is still seeking consistency and has been significantly reorganized following a massive summer transfer window with fourteen departures. Home advantage and the return of Boyé provide Alavés with extra attacking power, but Villarreal's higher scoring average (2-2 against Atlético) points to offensive quality that can remain dangerous. The weather conditions (mild, dry, moderate wind) are neutral and notably disadvantage neither team's playing style, while the match load for both teams is comparable and manageable.
