Game Analysis
Athletic Club at home vs Alavés is a classic mismatch in La Liga. The Basque side owns a 68% home win rate versus teams that finish in the bottom half, while Alavés has lost 6 of 8 away games against top-half clubs. The -0.5 spread at -165 offers 4.2% EV, but the edge is modest given unvalidated roster data for this season. Under 2.5 also has merit due to Alavés' defensive shell on the road. Expect a low-possession, grind-it-out win for Athletic Club by 1-0 or 2-0.
