Alaves vs Atl. Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
In this mid-week round in La Liga, title candidate Atletico Madrid will visit low-flyer Alaves. The visitors from Madrid are naturally a favorite, but the Basque hosts in the Mendizorroza are extremely hard to beat.
Alaves:
Alaves will have to go all out again this season to keep his head above water in La Liga. With a provisional fourteenth place, the team from Vitoria still meets expectations, but the difference with the Spanish relegation zone is only two points. Also last weekend, the Basques with a 4-1 defeat to Villarreal were firmly pushed to the facts again. “Villarreal mercilessly punished our mistakes, even though we also had some good moments,” said trainer Asier Garitano.
Last Friday’s defeat was not entirely unexpected, as Alaves does not usually bake much on foreign soil. In their own Mendizorroza, however, El Glorioso is a team that can make it difficult for any opponent – no fewer than ten of the eleven points were won in front of their own audience. In five home games, the blues and whites even had to allow a single goal, even though they themselves did not score well on the assembly line with five goals. However, a good defense is crucial in the fight against relegation, so it is good that Alaves with Fernando Pacheco has one of the better keepers of La Liga.
Atletico Madrid:
If Atletico Madrid do a serious shot at the national championship this season, it will also have to win this kind of competition. In their own Wanda Metropolitano strong, but outside the team of trainer Diego Simeone often has a difficult time. For example, in their most recent away game, Los Colchoneros got stuck on a scoreless draw against Real Valladolid, a similar opponent to Alaves.
Atletico Madrid can certainly rely on her performance last weekend against Athletic Bilbao (2-0). Saul Niguez and Alvaro Morata signed for the Madrid hits, but goalkeeper Jan Oblak had a world rescue in store after just 73 seconds. The Slovenian kept his goal clean again for the 65th time in 163 games – an equalization of the club record. With, among others, Jose Maria Gimenez and Stefan Savic, Simeone is currently a bit thin in the central defenders, but with such a top keeper that doesn’t matter much. According to Simeone, the fact that Atletico Madrid also scores very difficultly (ten goals in as many matches) is irrelevant: ‘Our fans come to the stadium to see us win. Nothing more, nothing less. ”
