A confident Deportivo Alaves will hope to continue their recent improved form to upset champions Real Madrid when the sides meet. This La Liga matchday 36 at the Santiago Bernabeu will have the hosts sitting pretty after winning the league and the visitors at 11th with 42 points. Madrid celebrated their title with a 4-0 win at the weekend that saw Granada relegated. The mood and confidence in the home camp are upbeat as they continue to make the right strides. It was the 22nd consecutive game that they avoided defeat, winning 16 and drawing six. Over the last eight competitive matches, the champions have won seven and drawn one. The record gets better in the league, as Madrid have won their last eight La Liga matches in a row, which means they are unlikely to show any lenience to their opponents.

Deportivo Alaves lost 1-0 in the reverse fixture, but they travel here with some good form backing their credentials. They held Girona to a 2-2 draw last Friday, where they came back from a goal down twice, including a late stoppage-time goal that earned them a point. That result made it four matches without a loss, winning the last three. One of those wins was a 2-0 victory over Atletico, so the visitors are proving that they aren’t fazed by top clubs. This strong form has put them on the cusp of finishing in the top half, although winning against Madrid could be a step too far. The task looks even more difficult on the road, where Alaves have lost three of their last four league matches, although they won 1-0 at Valencia in their latest trip.
