Alaves vs Real Madrid: Predictions
Zinedine Zidane’s side currently trail in the race for the La Liga title with their local rivals, Atletico Madrid sitting top and four points ahead of the Galacticos. Madrid enter the game looking to put behind them a shock defeat on Wednesday night against third-tier minnows, Alcoyano.
Alaves find themselves stuck in a relegation battle with no win in the league since the turn of the year. However, it is worth noting in the earlier meeting between the two sides it was Alaves which secured all three points in a shock 2-1 win at the Bernabeu.
Madrid’s recent struggles has left them without a win in their last three games across all competitions and with the title race swinging in the favour of their city rivals, it is a game which the visitors should only have eyes on all three points.
Saturday’s visitors will be looking to capitalise on their hosts’ lack of potency in front of goal with Alaves failing to score more than once in a game since before Christmas.
Alaves vs Real Madrid: Match Stats
Karim Benzema is expected to start on Saturday following being rested for the midweek defeat to Alcoyano. The Frenchman scored in his last start which came in a 2-1 defeat to Athletic Bilbao and Madrid’s top scorer will be aiming to add to his tally against the league strugglers.
Alaves have received a red card in three of their last five games across all competitions and they top La Liga’s disciplinary chart with six red cards across the season. Against a side who enjoy as much possession as Madrid, Alaves could find themselves picking up a few more cards to their name.
