La Liga: Real Madrid vs Alaves Live
Preview: Real Madrid vs Alaves
Real Madrid vs Alaves will take place at the Bernabeu on Tuesday at 7:30pm as Madrid will be looking to secure their ninth consecutive win in La Liga. The reigning champions are coming off a 4-0 victory against Granada, while Alaves managed to hold Girona in their previous match.
Madrid showed no signs of being affected by their previous Champions League match as they convincingly defeated Granada 4-0 on Saturday, extending their unbeaten streak to 22 games (with 16 wins and 6 draws). The team, already crowned La Liga champions, will celebrate their victory in front of their fans at the Bernabéu, creating a festive atmosphere. Their next goal is to remain unbeaten throughout the entire home league season, having only two draws and 15 wins so far. The home side last achieved this feat in the 2019/20 season.
After tying 2-2 with Girona, Alavés has the opportunity to achieve a top-half finish in La Liga for the first time since 2016/17, which was also the last time they were newly promoted to the division. Luis García’s team is currently on a four-game unbeaten streak (winning three and drawing one), including earning four points against top-four teams (winning one and drawing one), which should boost their confidence as they head to Madrid. However, their poor away record this season is a cause for concern, despite a recent 1-0 victory against Valencia ending a three-game losing streak on the road. This win was only their third away victory of the season, with five draws and nine losses.
Head-to-head
Alaves have been defeated in their last four La Liga matches against Real Madrid, with a 1-0 loss in their most recent encounter this season.
Prediction
Alaves will come into this game in great shape, and we predict that the Basque team will score a goal to excite their fans on Tuesday night. However, Madrid are currently in formidable form and are expected to secure their 29th league victory of the season in this match.
