Alavés vs Atlético Madrid Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2025-26

The previous encounter between these teams ended in a goalless draw.

Alaves are ready to host Atlético Madrid for the matchweek 3 fixture of the 2025-26 LaLiga season. The interesting contest between these Spanish clubs will take place at the Mendizorroza Stadium.

Deportivo Alaves will be at home and will be looking to win their second league game of the new campaign. After winning their first game of the season, they fell prey to Real Betis in their next fixture.

Even though they will be at home, Alaves are going to be under a bit of pressure. However, expect the hosts to come up with a tough fight, surely.

The Diego Simeone-led Atletico Madrid are yet to secure a win in the new season. They have not performed up to the mark in their last two matches.

Atleti will have to come up with a better approach if they want to come up with a positive result. The visitors fell prey in their opening game and were held to a draw in the second one.

Players to Watch

Toni Martinez (Alaves)

Toni Martinez will have a big job to do in his hands. The 28-year-old failed to score a goal in the previous league game, which cost them three points. This time around, he will have to come up with a better performance and score a goal or two to help his side secure another win.

Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid)

The Argentine striker did not come up with the best performance against Elche, and as a result, Atleti had to drop points. Julian Alvarez will be looking to step up his game and will also be keen on getting back to his top form. He is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
