Match summary

Deportivo Alavés vs Málaga is the LaLiga Matchday 10 fixture at Mendizorroza on Friday 23 October 2026, and our model goes with a home win, with Alavés win or draw as the double chance.

Why this pick?

Our model's pick rests on the gap between the sides: Alavés rate clearly stronger, while Málaga are bottom of the table without a win and well below the LaLiga average. Against it is Alavés's own attacking play across the last five matches, which has produced fewer big chances than the league norm and comes alongside four defeats in five. Málaga, though, have conceded 18 in nine and give up more shots and big chances than most, so even a restrained home attack should find room; Alavés have also won four of the six meetings since 2010. The call is moderate rather than clear.
