La Liga: Real Madrid vs. Alaves: Real Madrid will be looking to continue their impressive form in La Liga as they face off against Alaves in an exciting midweek clash. The match, scheduled for Tuesday night, will see Real Madrid aiming for their ninth consecutive victory in the league.
Los Blancos have been in exceptional form throughout the 2023-24 La Liga campaign, currently sitting at the top of the table with an impressive record of 28 wins, six draws, and only one defeat in 35 matches.
Their recent 4-0 win over Granada showcased their dominance, with Brahim Diaz netting a brace and Fran Garcia and Arda Guler also getting on the scoresheet.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti will be focusing on managing his squad effectively in the lead-up to the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1.
With the title already secured and a spot in the Champions League final booked, Ancelotti could make some significant changes to his lineup against Alaves to keep his players fresh.
Alaves, on the other hand, have had a decent season and currently sit in 11th place in the La Liga table. They have impressed in their recent matches, picking up 10 points from their last four games, including wins over Atletico Madrid, Celta Vigo, and Valencia.
However, Alaves will face a tough challenge against Real Madrid, especially considering their poor record at the Bernabeu. They have lost their last four league games against Real Madrid, and their away form has been less than stellar, securing only 14 points from 17 matches on the road.
