Alaves vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one, the “merengue” team starts as a big favorite due to the offensive potential it has and especially because it can unbalance the score at any time. Therefore, whether you play well or badly throughout the 90 minutes of play, we believe that your simple win is interesting to bet. Of course, it paints to be a duel fought and locked in the midfield by the collective proposal of the “blanquiazules”. However, we trust that the Lopetegui boys will win the 3 points for their highest individual rank. In addition they will go out with everything to recover from the stumble suffered before CSKA by the Champions.
Alavés:
The “blue and white” team lost 2-1 to Levante on a visit, cutting a streak of 5 games without losing (2 draws and 3 wins). At the moment it has 11 units in the general table, being located in the high part of the competition. His goal is to recover from this stumbling block and maintain the philosophy imposed by the technician Abelardo (order above all). In matter of goals he has scored 10 and has yielded 8 in his fence, of which 5 were before visiting Rayo Vallecano. In spite of its good campaign it needs to improve in defense, since it has yielded goal in 4 of its last 5 league presentations.
As a local in Mendizorroza, Alavés has reaped acceptable results so far, after adding 5 points out of 9 possible. It comes to equal 0-0 against Betis, to beat Espanyol 2-1 and to draw 1-1 against Getafe on the final. If we analyze the performance of the team in this condition, we can conclude that it knows what it plays in spite of having certain problems in front of the goal. For this duel, Abelardo is expected to repeat the 4-4-2 system he has been using in the usual way, which allows his boys to be balanced between lines and extremely uncomfortable to overcome.
Real Madrid:
The “meringues” played against CSKA Moscow in Russia for the Champions League and lost 1-0 from the opening minute until the final whistle. In the Spanish tournament, they equaled 0-0 against Atlético de Madrid in the classic, reaching 14 points in the general table (4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss). Now his goal is to win again in the league, after two games without being able to do so. The worst of this mini negative streak is not having captured the top of the competition. At the moment the absence of Isco is thinking, having to appear more Modric and Kroos. Other players that are not a little low are Asensio and Benzema. Some variants to use can be Ceballos, Lucas Vásquez and the Brazilian Vinicius.
As a visitor, Real Madrid has played 3 matches so far, managing to score 4 points out of 9 possible. He came from scoring 1-4 against Girona in Montilivi, to equalize 1-1 against Athletic Bilbao and to lose 3-0 against Sevilla in the Sánchez Pizjuán. Apparently, the team has had complications in this condition, suffering a lot in the new San Mamés and the Sánchez Pizjuán. Its objective is to recover the effectiveness in attack, trying also to improve in defense. On this occasion, the hand of the technician Lopetegui is needed, which is trying to capture his collective proposal and with the ball.
In the last 2 years, Alavés and Real Madrid have met twice in Mendizorroza. These were the results of those matches: Victory 1-4 in October 2016 and triumph 1-2 of Real Madrid in September 2017. Apparently, the picture “merengue” has managed to contrive to win in this tough exit, managing to win the first one in a clear way and the second in an adjusted way. The logic indicates that this pattern is repeated, but leaning more for a set marker.
