This is Real Madrid's chance to increase the gap to second place, after a poor performance in the Champions League and a 1-0 defeat to PSG, they also need to show a reaction in the domestic league.

Real Madrid has been performing well in its national league since being the leader of the competition with 54 points in 24 games, 16 wins, 6 draws, and only 2 defeats, the best attack of the competition with 48 goals scored and the second-best defense with only 20 goals suffered.

The moment is on their side, despite the defeat to PSG in the Champions League, in the national championship, they are dominant and have been recording excellent games along the way. At home mainly since the team has not lost a game in 12 matches, with 9 wins and 3 draws.

In addition, the coach can count on all players available as long as no one is suffering from injury or suspension.

Unlike the hosts, Alaves has a lot to improve as they are in the relegation zone and they haven't shown a great reaction so far in the championship. Overall they are in the 18th position with 20 points in 24 games, 5 wins, 5 draws and 14 losses, 19 goals scored and 39 conceded, being the worst defense next to Grenada. They got a little reaction with the victory at home against Valencia by 2x1 in the last round, after being in 3 losses in a row. However, it is not a reason to be very excited since the performance on the field was not very regular.

To make the team's moment worse, the coach will not be able to count on the pair of regular defenders since Victor Laguardia is suspended and Ximo Navarro is in doubt and with little possibility of acting.

Real Madrid has a clear advantage here, not only because they are in a better moment but also because they need to show a quick reaction after the Champions League stumble. In addition, it faces an adversary deprived of its two main defenders and this is a great reason for us to support the hosts today.

My probable score here is 2-0 3-0

Marco Antonio,

GL!
