No stadium, referee or manager details were provided for this match, so our analysis relies entirely on form, standings and goal statistics.
Recent Form
CD Alaves collected 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last five matches. That points to a balanced but inconsistent run: Alaves can drop points just as easily as they can win. The draw suggests the hosts are able to put up stiff resistance against opponents.
Atletico Madrid recorded 3 wins and 2 defeats in their last five, with no draws. In other words, Atletico's matches tend to end in favour of one side. One more win than Alaves gives the visitors a slight edge in recent form, although the two defeats are a reminder that they do not find it easy every week.
League Standings
In the 20-team league, CD Alaves sit 6th with 11 points from 7 matches and a goal difference of +5. Atletico Madrid have played the same number of games and have 16 points, placing them 2nd with a goal difference of +9. Since both sides have played 7 matches, the comparison is clean: the gap is 5 points and 4 goals of goal difference.
Per match, Alaves average roughly 1.57 points and Atletico roughly 2.29. That gap shows the consistency of the away side early in the season. Alaves' place in the top six, meanwhile, shows the hosts are more competitive than they may look on paper. You can check the latest table on our standings page.
Goal Expectation and Key Stats
The goal profiles of the two teams differ clearly.
CD Alaves: They score 1.4 goals per match and concede 1.0. The average total goals in their matches is 2.4. Their Over rate is 40% and their both-teams-to-score rate is 40%. The share of high-scoring matches stays at 20%. This suggests Alaves games tend to be more controlled and lower in tempo, and a concession rate of 1.0 per match highlights their defensive discipline.
Atletico Madrid: They score 2.0 goals per match and concede 1.2. The average total goals in their matches is 3.2. Their Over rate reaches 100%, meaning every match in the sample landed on the Over side. Their both-teams-to-score rate is 40% and their share of high-scoring matches is 20%. Atletico's attacking output is clear, but the fact that their opponents do not always score suggests the scoreline is usually shaped by Atletico's own goals.
The average of the two teams' per-match goal totals is 2.8. This points to a medium-to-high tempo, sitting between Alaves' cautious profile and Atletico's goal-heavy one. With both-teams-to-score rates at 40% for each side, a game where both teams find the net does not stand out, and the goal load looks more likely to be driven by Atletico's attack.
Our data carries an Over potential label for this match. The level is medium and the risk level is medium. The label rests on a high Over rate, which shows that Atletico's numbers carry the most weight. For more match commentary, visit our predictions page.
iTahmin Verdict
According to the data, Atletico Madrid appear to have the advantage: they are higher in the table, average more points per match, have a better goal difference and produce 2.0 goals per match in attack. CD Alaves, however, are a top-six home side who concede just 1.0 goal per match, so they may not be easy opponents. Two wins and one draw in the last five matches show the hosts are still able to pick up points.
In terms of goals, the picture points to a medium-to-high level. Atletico's goal-heavy profile is the strongest piece of data supporting the Over side, while Alaves' lower-tempo tendency balances that expectation. The match is therefore likely to be shaped by the balance between Atletico's attacking strength and Alaves' defensive organisation. All of this is a general expectation based on the data only; as football goes, the outcome may develop differently.
