Real Madrid - Deportivo Alavés predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Real Madrid winning is by far the most likely outcome.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of Real and the 10.60 odds given to Deportivo Alavés to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

Los Blancos played at Granada in the previous round and absolutely dominated the entire match. An early lead turned into a complete fiasco for the opposition, exceeding even the most optimistic of predictions in a 0:4 win.

The away team played a very unfavourable matchup in the previous round but managed to end it in a stalemate. Their home supporters thought it was all over after an early concession, but they brought it back to what can safely be called a positive outcome.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Real Madrid and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

Alaves don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

There seems to be little doubt as to who will go on to take this year’s title. Real Madrid are currently the best-placed team with barely anything standing in their way.

According to the recent head-to-head records, Real M. already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 1.33 odds on a home win.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.33 odds offer a decent return.
