Real Madrid, who are looking to close in on Barcelona in the La Liga title race, will be eying three points against Alaves. Hosting this game, Los Blancos will be looking to extend their dominance against El Glorioso. Read on for our preview and prediction of this match.

Real Madrid’s slow start that earned them draws at Mallorca and at home to Las Palmas sees them play catchup at this point. They are four points behind league leaders Barcelona and will not want to drop more points.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side is coming from four straight wins and their scoring form has also improved tremendously. The home team scored seven goals in the last two matches though they also conceded twice in the process.

Having beaten Alaves in each of the last five meetings, Real Madrid will feel confident going into this encounter.

Alaves last claimed a win in this fixture in 2020, when they shocked Real Madrid 2-1 away from home. After that surprise win, they went on to concede 17 times in matches against Real Madrid.

The most recent of them ended in a 5-0 defeat at this same venue. They will hope for a better return this time. Alaves warmed up for this game with a 2-1 win at Sevilla courtesy of goals from Carlos Vicente and Carlos Martin.

Dodi Lukebakio’s late goal for Sevilla was just a consolation. For Alaves, that was an improvement from their earlier loss to Espanyol but they know it will be tougher here.

Two of their last three away matches already ended in defeats and they lost their last two matches here.
