RCD Espanyol VS CD Alaves

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 2-0 in favor of RCD Espanyol.
Espanyol's possession-based approach and home advantage should dominate. Alavés will likely employ defensive tactics, sitting deep and exploiting set-pieces or counter-attacking opportunities. Espanyol's attacking midfielders like Edu Expósito will be key.
Historical dominance at home (6 wins), current superior form, and higher league position strongly favor Espanyol. Alavés's recent defensive stability may limit the margin but unlikely to prevent a home victory.
