La Liga Betting Preview: Villarreal vs Alavés

Villarreal meet Alavés at Estadio de la Ceramica, with kick-off set for 10:15 on Saturday 10 January.

Villarreal vs Alavés Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

Villarreal have been priced up as the overwhelming -263 favourites for this La Liga clash. This means the bookies give them a 72% chance of claiming victory. At +700, Deportivo Alavés are regarded as having a far lower probability of winning.

Villarreal can be backed alternatively on the Half-Time Result market and that means getting -111. However, Alavés are +550 and the draw is +148 if you want to take a different option.

If you’re betting on Total Goals, the market is finding it hard to split Unders and Overs. A fresh approach might involve siding with a BTTS wager and there’s -137 on offer for Both Teams to Score No.
