Deportivo Alaves vs Real Madrid 21.12.2023 Prediction: La Liga
Match Overview
Deportivo Alaves host Real Madrid in a rather lopsided game in the Spanish La Liga at the Estadio de Mendirozza on Thursday. The home team will have to play out of their skins to make sure that they do not concede too many goals. However, Madrid will not give them too many chances to take up positions which allow them a flicker of a chance.
Key Highlights
It has to be noted that Deportivo Alaves are ranked 18th in goals scored per match (0.8 goals). At the same time, one must not forget that they have conceded the most penalties this season (6). What will worry the home team more than the statistics given above is that they haven't scored in their last 2 matches.
Injury Report
Giuliano Simeone and Aleksandar Sedlar are among the two players ruled out of this game for Deportivo Alaves whereas Madrid have a long list of injured players in their ranks which includes the likes of Edouard Camavinga, Vinicius Junior and Ferland Mendy among others.
Prediction
Ranked 2 in goals scored per match (2.2 goals), Real Madrid have also kept the most number of clean sheets in the competition (8). Starlet Jude Bellingham is the competition's top scorer (13). We expect Madrid to win this game quite comfortably in the end. They are the favourites to do so as well. Alaves will have to fight till the end to make sure that they do not lose by a huge margin.
