Match Analysis

Alaves have had a mixed bag of results in their last three outings. They secured a narrow 1-0 win against Girona away from home but followed it up with a disappointing 2-0 home loss to Vallecano. A spirited performance saw them draw 2-2 with Las Palmas, highlighting some defensive vulnerabilities. Key metrics show Alaves scoring an average of 0.4 goals and conceding 1.0 goals over their last five matches. Despite this, their defensive efforts have been commendable with two clean sheets, indicating resilience that could be pivotal against a side like Real Madrid. Real Madrid's recent performances have been solid, winning two out of their last three matches, including a 2-1 victory away against Villarreal. However, they did slip at home with a 2-1 loss to Valencia. Their attacking prowess remains evident as they average 1.4 goals per game in their last five matches, though they have failed to keep a clean sheet during this period. With an expected goal tally of 1.774, Real Madrid will be looking to capitalize on any defensive lapses by Alaves.

Final Prediction

Real Madrid's superior standing and recent form give them the edge in this matchup. Their ability to consistently find the back of the net, coupled with Alaves' occasional defensive lapses, could prove decisive. A key factor to watch will be how Alaves' defense manages to contain the attacking threat posed by Real Madrid, particularly in the absence of recent clean sheets from the visitors.
