The 2024-25 edition of La Liga continues this weekend with a highly anticipated clash as Deportivo Alaves take on Real Madrid at the Estadio Mendizorroza on Sunday. With both teams heading into this encounter with different objectives and momentum, fans are in for an exciting showdown.
Current Form and Standings
Real Madrid currently sit second in the La Liga table, battling for the top spot. However, inconsistency has plagued Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season. Their recent 3-0 defeat in the UEFA Champions League was a setback they’ll be eager to recover from. Los Blancos need a strong performance to get their campaign back on track.
Deportivo Alaves, in contrast, find themselves 17th in the standings, just above the relegation zone. Despite their struggles over the past year, a 1-0 win over Girona last week has given them a morale boost. Playing at home, Alaves will aim to take advantage of any weaknesses in the Madrid defense.

Match Prediction
While Alaves have shown resilience, especially at home, the quality and depth of Real Madrid’s squad should prove decisive. The visitors will be hungry for redemption after their Champions League loss and are likely to dominate possession and chances created.
Predicted Score: Deportivo Alaves 1-3 Real Madrid
Madrid’s attacking trio, backed by the experience of Modric and the energy of Camavinga, is expected to break through the Alaves defense more than once.
