Who’s playing: La Liga table leaders Real Madrid face 13th-placed Alaves in the league in a must-win encounter for both sides. A win for Alaves could steer them up to the 10th position depending on the results from other fixtures, while a win for Zidane’s men will guarantee one more week at the top of the table. This season’s campaign has kicked off on a high note – the top five teams are separated by only one point between them. Thus, any kind of draw or defeat could come with serious repercussions as far as the top five spot is concerned.

Match facts
- Real Madrid have won their last five games against Alaves in all competitions
- Los Blancos have scored at least thrice against Alaves in all competitions
- Real Madrid have not lost any of their last 21 league matches
- Zidane’s men have scored at least twice in 18 of their last 21 league game
- The hosts have not kept a clean sheet in their last five games
Match forecast
The home side could be without the likes of Victor Laguardia and Ibai Gomez. Spanish midfielder Marco Llorente is also set to miss this match by virtue of being a Real Madrid Castilla player loaned out to Alaves.
After picking up four points from their last two league games at home, Alaves will be determined to pick up at least another point against Los Blancos. It will be difficult for the hosts to collect all the three points here considering the fact that they have not kept a clean sheet in their last five matches. And Zidane’s men are fighting for their position at the top of the league, a good reason to inspire them to victory at the Mendizrrotza stadium.
While the hosts have the composure and fighting spirit to win a match, their defence has been soaking goals lately and this could work to their disadvantage. There is no doubt that Mauricio Pellegrino’s men will fight for at least a point in this match, having demonstrated their ability to attack superior opponents who include the likes of Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and defending champions Barcelona. But at the end of the day, Real Madrid stand the highest chance of emerging victorious in this duel.
