Real Madrid vs Alaves Prediction & Betting tips
In the small Estadio Alfredo di Stefano, Real Madrid will be visited by low-flyer Alaves on Saturday evening. The bookmakers are expecting a resounding home win, but the visitors from the Spanish Basque Country have been in excellent shape in recent weeks.
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid recorded an equally important and impressive 0-2 victory over Inter in the Champions League last Wednesday, putting European wintering back in its own hands. In LaLiga, however, De Koninklijke is a lot less successful, because after only nine rounds of play, the Madrid people are already at ten loss points. A victory over Alaves is necessary in order not to lose sight of Atletico Madrid in particular.
However, Real Madrid will again have to do without a few important players on Saturday evening. Sergio Ramos and Federico Valverde are still in the rag basket, while Karim Benzema will probably again be absent. In addition, the important away game against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League is already waiting next Tuesday, so there is a good chance that trainer Zinedine Zidane will rotate a bit this weekend. Rodrygo in particular knocks on the door after his strong substitution against Inter.
Deportivo Alaves:
Alaves is one of the teams that will have to do everything possible this season to avoid relegation, although the Basques have been in good shape for some time. Coach Pablo Machin, who was appointed last summer, initially had a rough start, but the Basques only had to give up once in their last seven matches. Even the FC Barcelona of Lionel Messi bit itself a few weeks ago with a 1-1 draw on the tough team from Vitoria.
The Alaves players therefore know what is required of them to stand their ground even against the absolute top clubs. “It will be tough, but if we have a top day we can grab points against everyone,” said goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco, who managed to keep the zero in four of his ten games. Alaves is of course not a top team, because if Lucas Perez and Florian Lejeune failed in England you are star players in principle, you already know enough. However, on the basis of a good organization, El Glorioso can take the blood from opponents.
