Valencia vs. Alaves Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Valencia and Alaves, taking place on Sunday, 08 March 2026, at The Estadio de Mestalla in Valencia.
Valencia, Recent Form
Valencia will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Osasuna. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Osasuna, who had 8 shots on goal with 0 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
Valencia will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Largie Ramazani will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Valencia's last 6 league games.
Alaves, Recent Form
There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Alaves players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Levante. In that game they recorded 51 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 22 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games, and playing away from home this season, they've failed to score in 7 of their 13 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Lucas Boyé will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Alaves.
Valencia vs. Alaves Head to head
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
In their past 5 meetings, Alaves' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Los Chés will have to take their chances when they come. Valencia have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Alaves. Playing away from home, Alaves have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Valencia.
Alaves have built up an impressive record in the league against Valencia, going unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
