Preview: Real Madrid vs Alavés Prediction, odds, where to watch, time | LaLiga 2025-26
Los Blancos are on an eight-match winning run against Babazorros.
Real Madrid will face Deportivo Alaves in their matchweek 32 fixture of the 2025-26 LaLiga. This is going to be an entertaining outing between these clubs, which is scheduled to take place at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Alvaro Arbeloa-led side are on a poor run of form at the moment. They have failed to secure a win in their last two league games. Real Madrid have also been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League after failing to get the better of German giants Bayern Munich across both legs.
Los Blancos have looked unbalanced in their possession play. They could be heading for a trophyless season. The Spanish giants are in second place in the league table, and Madrid will only have a chance to win the LaLiga title if Barcelona drop enough points.
Deportivo Alavés are coming in after securing a 3-3 draw in their previous matchup. They netted in a last-minute goal, which allowed them to finish the contest on level terms. With just eight wins in 31 games, Quique Sánchez Flores’ men are in 17th place on the LaLiga points table and are at risk of getting relegated at the end of the season.
Babazorros will be away from home for their upcoming league game, and it will be a tough outing for them.
