Alaves vs Real Madrid Predictions

• Real Madrid are unbeaten in 16 games, winning 13 matches in that run
• Alaves have failed to score in their last three La Liga fixtures
• Real have won six of the last seven meetings between these sides

Madrid set to extend unbeaten run

Second-placed Real Madrid look set to keep the pressure on Girona at the top of La Liga with a win at mid-table Alaves and extend their unbeaten run to 17 in the process.

Los Blancos have won six of their last seven meetings with Thursday’s hosts and should have no issues in maintaining their impressive away form on Thursday.

Madrid have avoided defeat in their last eight road games, beating league leaders Girona, reigning champions Barcelona and Serie A title-holders Napoli in that run, and this trip to Alaves rates a far easier assignment.

Alaves unlikely to land a blow on Los Blancos

Although Carlo Ancelotti’s side are missing Thibaut Courtois somewhat, they have still managed four clean sheets in their last nine games and also shut out Girona in that aforementioned victory, suggesting they could enjoy an easy win on Thursday.

Alaves have failed to score in their last three matches, despite playing fellow mid-table sides Mallorca and Las Palmas in that run, and look unlikely to find the net in front of their home crowd against Los Blancos.

Madrid won the last meeting between the sides 3-0 and a similar scoreline should be expected on Thursday.
