📊 Match recap and data context

Valencia won 1-0 at Mendizorroza, with Luis Rioja scoring in the 78th minute. Our model backed Deportivo Alaves at 41 percent probability and missed the call. Valencia's recent form showed three wins in five games, while Alaves had managed just one victory across the same stretch. The hosts, despite a 80 percent both-teams-to-score rate in their last five outings, could not find the net. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
