Alavés vs Atletico Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Prediction published on 21/04/2024, 03:46  by Sridhar in LaLiga Predictions

Deportivo Alaves will hope to put an end to their recent losing streak as Atletico Madrid visit the Basque country this weekend. The La Liga matchday 32 fixture at the Mendizorroza Stadium will see Alaves start 14th with 32 points and the visitors fourth with 61 points. Alaves lost 2-0 to Granada in their last league match, making it their third consecutive defeat. All these matches saw them fail to score a goal, which is now a big concern. In fact, they have now failed to score in four of the last five league games, losing each time. Alaves have one of the lowest scoring records in the division, and that has hampered their progress. They start this round seven points above the relegation zone, so barring another major collapse, they should be pushing for safety. At least at home, they have performed better, as Alaves have won one and drawn two of their last four home league games.

Atletico are four points behind third-placed Girona and four ahead of fifth-placed Athletic, giving them another week at this spot irrespective of the result. Diego Simeone’s men are coming off a 4-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund that has seen them exit the Champions League. It was their first defeat after three consecutive wins, so Atletico will be keen to get back to winning ways. League form has also improved with back-to-back wins against Villarreal and Girona. While all this paints a rosy picture, Atletico has struggled on the road this season. They have won just two of their last ten away league games, losing six and drawing two.
