Real Madrid vs Alaves free tip &prediction
Real Madrid have scored seven goals in the last week and Alaves have been a favourite opponent for the Royals in recent times.
It’s midweek in La Liga, and it’s quickly becoming clear that Barcelona and Real Madrid will be in a race again this year. The Catalans are off to a lightning start and are already four points behind the Blancos, so the home side can make few mistakes in their meeting with Alaves.
Even though Real have an amazing 38-match unbeaten run in the league, the long run could be under threat this weekend when the defending champions visit Atlético Madrid. This could also see Ancelotti shuffle the starting line-up, with Endrick likely to start for his new side for the first time.
It has been a difficult start to the season for the Royal Guards, who have been held to a point at Mallorca and then Las Palmas, but they can have no complaints at home.
Speaking of the Brazilian, the Golden Ball frontrunner was a substitute at the weekend, but he still contributed a goal and an assist in the 4-1 win over Espanyol. The home side had a huge advantage, but it wasn’t until the 75th minute that Madrid claimed their first win.
Mbappé could well be rested on Tuesday night, leaving the Blancos with their three Brazilians to attack.
Alaves’ start to the season is not looking bad, as they are currently seventh, only four points behind Real. They beat Sevilla at the weekend, who have seen better days, and the realistic target this season is to secure a mid-table finish. They visit Getafe at home this weekend, so that could clearly be the more important game for them this week.
The games between the two sides have seen a huge Real dominance in recent times, with Madrid winning their last 5 games by a combined 17-2 goal difference.

In the midweek game, both sides are expected to rotate a bit compared to the weekend, but Real have a much deeper squad, so the midweek game will also favour the big boys.
After the weekend rest, we’re in for a Vinícius goal, who is starting to catch on, plus if Real do indeed start without Mbappé, he could have a much bigger freedom. We are also predicting an absolute Real success, so we are combining these two events on our bookmaker, which is already giving us a nice odds.
