Real Madrid have already wrapped up the league title this term, but Los Blancos will be aiming to go into the Champions League final with winning momentum. They will be in action at home on Tuesday when they host Deportivo Alaves.
La Liga Preview
It has been a stunning campaign to this point for Real Madrid, and they remain on course to achieve a league and European double. Los Blancos have already wrapped up the league title in impressive fashion, and they have shown no signs of taking their foot off the gas after winning each of their last five league matches.
Alaves are also enjoying a memorable campaign in La Liga this term, and they will be challenging for a top half finish over the final month of the season. They come into this round sitting eleventh, but they are just a point off tenth-place Getafe. Alaves have gone four without defeat in the league, winning on three occasions over that period.
It could be worth considering Real’s poor record in matches played on a Tuesday, as they have suffered defeats in each of their previous two. Prior to this losing sequence, they had lost just once in their previous 23 matches played on a Tuesday, claiming 16 wins across that period.
The Spanish side have been dominant in La Liga throughout this season, and they come into this round after going 29 matches without defeat. They could equal their best-ever unbeaten sequence in the competition this week, having previously gone 30 matches without loss between May 1988 and April 1989.
Real Madrid vs Alaves Head to Head
Real’s record in this fixture is very impressive, as they have won 16 of their 18 matches against Alaves. That means that Los Blancos have won 83% of their matches against their rivals, which is their highest win rate against a single side in La Liga. Alaves have also suffered defeats in 15 of their 17 away matches against Real, claiming just two victories. Their most recent success was achieved in November 2020.
Real Madrid vs Alaves Prediction
Real Madrid’s relentless form in Spain has shown no signs of stopping in recent weeks, despite having wrapped up the top-flight championship. History could be made by Real if they avoid defeat this week, and we could see them landing maximum points at the Bernabeu with a 3-1 success on Tuesday.
