La Liga Preview Real Madrid vs Alaves

Alaves Vs Real Madrid

After gaining promotion to the La Liga Santander, Alaves quickly found their feet to this new challenge after forcing Atletico Madrid to a draw at the Vincente Calderon and also beating the defending champion Barcelona at the Camp Nou earlier this season, they have had an inconsistent performance so far. Alaves are winless in their last three (3) games as they sit on 13th position with just 10points after Match-Day 9. Alaves will try to get points off the table toppers Real Madrid as they face off this weekend at the Estadio Mendizorroza.

Real Madrid will look to continue their goal-scoring form when they face Alaves this weekend. Real are huge favourites to win this game as they have a far better squad than their opponent. This is a ‘David Vs Goliath’ clash with ‘Goliath’ looking to claim the Victory. In Football anything can happen but with the way both teams are performing presently it’s hard to see Alaves getting any point off this game.

TEAM NEWS

Alaves will be without their star player Marcos Llorente who is ineligible for this game as he was gotten on-loan this summer from Real Madrid, but Alaves will look on to their bench to get a suitable replacement and provide a strong team to face Real.

Real Madrid will be without injured Ramos, Casemiro and Modric with Cavajal also suspended for this clash. News coming from Madrid suggests that Zidaine could bench Ronaldo for this game as the star man have failed to find his goal scoring boots this season scoring just once in their last five league games, with the young stars Morata, Asensio and Vasquez scoring 13goals this season with limited game time and the BBC scoring just 12goals who are first choice. Zidaine was quoted saying ‘I am not going to be unfair about it, but yes, I have to take decisions. I try to do what is best for everyone, tomorrow you will see who plays’.
