Racing Santander vs Alaves Prediction, Tips & Odds
Racing Santander vs Alaves
Match Preview
The model favours Alaves to win this match, projecting a scoreline of 2-1. Alaves currently sits in third place in La Liga, having started the season with a strong performance, recording two wins and one draw from their opening three matches. Their goal difference of +4 highlights their defensive solidity, having conceded only one goal so far while scoring five. Racing Santander, on the other hand, is in ninth place with four points from three games, showcasing a mixed form of one win, one draw, and one loss. They have managed to score five goals but have also conceded five, indicating vulnerabilities in their defence that could be exploited by a confident Alaves side. The model gives Alaves a win probability of around 65%, with the projected score of 2-1 reflecting their current form and positioning. However, a potential caveat is that Racing Santander may find motivation playing at home, which could lead to a more competitive match than expected.

The Daily Punt Analysis Team
Data-driven football predictions and betting tips
This forecast was built by the The Daily Punt Analysis Team using our in-house statistical model. We feed the model two layers of data for every fixture: each team's recent expected goals (xG and xGA) and their actual goals scored and conceded, split by home and away venue. The numbers run through a Poisson distribution that produces a probability for every possible scoreline, which we then convert into fair odds for the 1X2, correct score, BTTS, and over/under markets.
Before publishing, we cross-check our fair odds against the prices the major bookmakers are offering. Where a bookmaker is paying out more than our model says is mathematically fair, we flag that market as a value bet on this page.
