Anaitasuna vs Deportivo Alaves Match Forecast for Copa del Rey

Anaitasuna: scoring momentum with defensive caveats

Recent results and the home-away split

Anaitasuna beat Tedeon 5:0 at home on 26 September and 5:2 away on 3 October. Their three earlier results were a 1:3 defeat at Deportivo Alaves III, a 2:1 home win over Anorga KKE and a 2:3 loss at Basconia. Those fixtures date from May 2024, so this is not a continuous five-match run of current form. Both home appearances ended in wins; the three away games produced one victory and two defeats.

Attacking output versus defensive exposure

Anaitasuna scored 15 goals and conceded nine across those fixtures, scoring in every game. All five finished with more than 2.5 goals; BTTS (both teams to score) occurred in four, with one clean sheet. The wins against Tedeon show recent attacking output, but the return fixture also exposed defensive weaknesses. That scoring rate cannot simply be extended to top-flight opposition.

Selection and individual roles

No confirmed squad news, injuries, suspensions, likely formation or key-player updates are available for Anaitasuna. Whether the same attacking personnel will start is unconfirmed.

Deportivo Alaves: stronger status, limited recent output

A winless league sequence

Alaves lost 0:1 to Valencia, drew 0:0 at Athletic Bilbao, suffered 1:2 defeats against Atletico Madrid and Celta, then drew 1:1 with Malaga. Their five-match winless league sequence comprises two draws and three defeats, with three goals scored and six conceded. Two away appearances yielded one point and one goal; at home, they collected one point from three games. All faced top-flight opposition, unlike Anaitasuna's recent cup fixtures.

Low scoring and narrow margins

Alaves failed to score in two of those five matches and never scored more than once. BTTS occurred in three, only two games exceeded 2.5 goals, and the Athletic fixture supplied their sole clean sheet. All three defeats came by a single goal: limited attacking output, rather than heavy losses, defines this sequence.

League positions and a numerical comparison of the teams' strength are unavailable, leaving the competitive gap unquantified.

Team-sheet uncertainty

No confirmed injuries, suspensions, probable lineup or formation are available for Alaves. The cup setting alone does not establish that they will rotate, and no named player's availability is confirmed.
