Real Madrid host Deportivo Alaves at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid today at 9:30 PM in the LaLiga.

Real Madrid come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Deportivo Alaves travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Real Madrid won their last outing, while Deportivo Alaves suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours Real Madrid here — they've won 9 of 10 previous meetings against Deportivo Alaves. Their last encounter ended in Deportivo Alaves won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Both sides line up in a 4-4-2, meaning the tactical battle is likely to be decided by individual quality and set-piece situations rather than structural mismatches.

Verdict: Real Madrid look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Deportivo Alaves will make it uncomfortable. Real Madrid to win.
