Alaves Double Chance (Win or Draw)

Reason for tip

Atletico can blame their poor title challenge on away defeats, having won less than half of their matches on their travels. The visitors were beaten by 18th-placed Las Palmas in their last away game, while Alaves are improving and they’ve picked up key 1-0 wins of late to push themselves two points clear of danger.

Alaves 1-0

Reason for tip

Atletico have already suffered three 1-0 defeats on their travels this term, while they meet an Alaves side who have won 1-0 in two of their last four starts. The hosts have seen under 1.5 goals land in 50% of their home games this season, so back them to edge out Atletico with a narrow victory.

The visitors have suffered costly away defeats, including a 1-0 loss at 18th placed Las Palmas in their previous away game

Alaves can push for safety

Alaves have claimed key wins over Girona and Real Sociedad in recent weeks to boost their hopes of staying in La Liga. The hosts head into the weekend in 17th place, but they’re just two points clear of the drop zone.

Aletico Madrid head into this contest knowing that away defeats have played a big part in their title challenge falling apart. The visitors have suffered damaging reverses against Las Palmas, Leganes and Getafe this term. Atletico have won just seven of their 16 away trips, while they’ve failed to win in three of their previous four on their travels.

The previous six encounters between these two sides have each been won by the home side, while Alaves are heading into this clash fresh from a 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad at home. They have tightened things up defensively, so they need to hold firm and take something from an Atletico side that is coasting towards a third-place finish.
