Real Madrid to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n3\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(76.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Real Madrid to win because they’ve won 15 of their last 17 meetings with Alav\u00e9s, including the last five in all competitions. Madrid also lead the league for goals, assists, and expected goals, underlining their class at both ends.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 Anytime Scorer<\/strong><\/td>\n1\/2 @ Bet365<\/a>
(66.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nMbapp\u00e9 has 23 goals in 27 league appearances \u2014 more than double Alav\u00e9s’s top scorer. His shot accuracy is a league-leading 48.5%. Against an Alav\u00e9s side conceding nearly 1.5 goals per game, he looks primed to add to his tally.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
