Alaves and Real Madrid will meet again in the La Liga Week 18 at the Estadio de Mendizorroza Stadium, Vitoria-Gasteiz Thursday, December 21, 2023. Live streaming information, how to watch, match previews and lineup predictions can be found in this article.
Real Madrid has just shown its strength with a 4-1 win over Villarreal. Goals from Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz and Luka Modric helped Real to a convincing win and extended their unbeaten run at the Bernabeu to 19 games.
They have also widened the gap with Barcelona in third place to 7 points. However, Real Madrid dropped to second place after Girona beat Alaves 3-0. Real Madrid need to beat Alaves and hope Girona lose to Betis to become winter champions.
However, tough challenges await Real Madrid. Several of their key players are injured, including David Alaba, Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Carvajal, Vinicius Junior, Ferland Mendy and Arda Guler. This condition will of course affect the team’s performance on the field.
However, Real Madrid still has a big chance to win in the match against Alaves. They have won 7 of their last 8 matches at Mendizorroza, scoring 24 goals. Real Madrid also really like playing at the Estadio de Mendizorroza (Vitoria-Gasteiz), losing only 1 of their last 14 matches there.
On the other hand, Alaves are yet to win in La Liga in December, being held to a draw by Mallorca and losing to Las Palmas and Girona. Alaves is in 15th position in the standings, just 3 points ahead of the relegation zone.
By winning 13 of 17 matches in La Liga and winning all matches in the Champions League this season, Carlo Ancelotti’s team is clearly the favorite to get three points in this match. Moreover, Alaves have lost 15 of their last 17 matches against Real Madrid in La Liga.
