Alaves vs Real Madrid
📊The Context
Real Madrid travel to Mendizorrotza to face mid-table Alavés in La Liga. Madrid are currently second in the table, chasing leaders Barcelona (and under pressure after recent mixed results) while Alavés sit around mid-table.
Historically Madrid dominate this fixture — they’ve beaten Alavés the vast majority of times and rarely drawn against them.
📌 Key Factors in Tonight’s Match
Real Madrid
Still favorites to win thanks to superior squad quality and deeper resources.
However, they’ve had an inconsistent run of form, with just a couple of wins in their last eight overall.
Defensive injuries and suspensions mean they might field a makeshift backline, which could make them more vulnerable than usual.
Alavés
Stronger at home than on the road historically and can be hard to break down, especially at Mendizorrotza.
They’re not expected to dominate possession, but they can make life difficult with compact defending and quick transitions.
🔎 My Opinion
This feels like a classic “favored away team underperforming vs. inspired underdog” scenario:
➡️ Madrid should have enough to win, but this isn’t a routine victory for them — their form and defensive issues mean nothing is guaranteed.
➡️ Alavés can definitely make it competitive, especially at home, and they won’t be overawed. They could frustrate Madrid and even score if given space.
