Real Madrid vs Alaves Predictions

• Real Madrid have conceded in 11 of their last 12 games, and their last eight La Liga matches
• Alaves have seen BTTS land in seven of their last eight, scoring nine times across their visits to the top seven
• Valverde has scored in four straight La Liga appearances for Real

Can Alaves add to Real’s woes?

Real Madrid’s Champions League exit last week has left the club facing a trophy-less season, with the club nine points behind Barcelona ahead of the midweek round of fixtures.

Real have lost at Mallorca and drawn at home to Girona in their last two league games, and their defensive record of late offers some hope to 17th-placed Alaves.

Real gave failed to keep a clean sheet across their last eight La Liga games, with both teams scoring in seven of those. The Spanish giants have managed one clean sheet in 12 across all competitions, while the visitors are in good scoring form.

Both teams have scored in seven of Alaves’ last eight league games, and they’ve scored at least twice in four of their last five. In their last two away trips, Alaves have drawn 3-3 at seventh-placed Real Sociedad and won 4-3 at sixth-placed Celta Vigo. The visitors have also scored in defeats at Villarreal and Barcelona this term.

Real have kept one home clean sheet in La Liga since the turn of the year, so both teams to score stands out. Federico Valverde remains overpriced in the goalscorer markets, having struck in his last four La Liga appearances, in addition to scoring for Uruguay at Wembley and netting a hat-trick against Man City last month.
