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

Los Blancos have defeated Los Blanquiazules in all of their last five meetings against each other.

Deportivo Alaves are all set to lock horns with Real Madrid for their fixture of the 2025-26 LaLiga. This is going to be an interesting contest between these clubs, which will take place at the Mendizorrotza Stadium.

Los Blanquiazules have come up with top performances in their last two matches. First, they took down Portugalete in their Copa del Rey game and then secured a win against Real Sociedad in their Spanish league contest. Alaves are going to be at home for their next match and will be looking to extend their winning run.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, continue their poor run of form. The upcoming game is not going to be an easy contest for them. Many of their important players are not going to be in action.

Some are out due to injuries while others due to suspension. Los Blancos must come up with a top performance to return to winning ways. They are now four points behind FC Barcelona in the LaLiga title race.

Players to Watch

Lucas Boyé (Alaves)

Lucas Boyé scored the match-winning goal for Deportivo Alaves in their league contest against Real Sociedad. He will be yet again ready to help his side in the attacking front. Even though he has only scored three goals in 11 LaLiga appearances, Boyé is going to play an important role.

Rodrygo (Real Madrid)

Rodrygo broke his goalless run after scoring a crucial against against Man City in the UCL. But unfortunately, it was not enough to get them a win. In the absence of Kylian Mbappe, the Brazilian will have a big responsibility on his shoulders, and he will be keen to perform yet again for Real Madrid.
