Alaves v Real Madrid Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Saturday 06^th September 2018 (Kick-off 5:30 PM)

European champions Real Madrid face a potentially tricky trip to Alaves on Saturday evening in La Liga.

Alaves have enjoyed a steady start to their La Liga campaign and currently sit sixth-place in the Spanish top-flight table. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are second in La Liga, behind perennial title rivals Barcelona.

Alaves have now failed to win in their last two La Liga outings, last time out suffering a 2-1 defeat at Levante. It was another game for Alaves were both teams have scored, as it was the fourth game in five in La Liga where both teams have found the net.

The home side are four games unbeaten on home soil in La Liga, having won two and drawn two of their games in the top-flight.

Real Madrid heads into this game winless in three matches in all competitions. Last time out Los Blancos suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League.

One major concern for the European champions that they have now failed to score in three games. A big positive for the visitors is the fact that they have won their last nine matches against Alaves, while also scoring at least three goals in eight of their last nine meetings with the home side.

Prediction

Away win and/or over 2.5 goals
