A new season is about to begin in the Spanish top-flight, and Real Madrid will face Deportivo Alavés at Mendizorroza Stadium with everything to play for and with the hope to win one more league intact.
Deportivo Alavés will get to this game with hopes for a better season than the last one. El Glorioso finished last season in 16th place with a record that showed nine wins, eleven draws, and eighteen losses. Now, the team coached by Javier Calleja will try to return to the better half of the standings with signings such as Florian Lejeune or striker Taichi Hara. As always, Lucas Pérez will try to lead the team in the goalscoring department and to better fortunes in the upcoming season.
On the other hand, it will be a season with many changes for Real Madrid, starting with Zinedine Zidane's departure. The other major move for the La Liga runners-up last season had to do with captain Sergio Ramos, who left the squad after 16 years of service. Now, coach Carlo Ancelotti will try to make things work with only David Alaba as a new signing and with other players such as Gareth Bale, Isco or Martin Odegaard still waiting to know if they will have a spot on the roster for the season that is about to begin.
