Deportivo Alaves will host Real Madrid in the first game week of La Liga at the Estadio de Mendizorroza in Vitoria-Gasteiz on 15th August 2021 at 01:30 IST. The odds to win the match are clearly in favor of Los Blancos and would want to start off the campaign with a win.

Teams Status

Deportivo Alaves

Deportivo Alaves are coming off decent club-friendly matches as they have won four and lost three of the seven matches that they have played this summer. But they had a poor outing in La Liga last season as they finished just two places and just four points above relegation. Out of the 38 matches that they played, they had won nine matches, drawn 11 and lost as many as 18 matches, accumulating just 38 points. Joselu was the star for Alaves as the forward had netted 11 goals out of the 36 goals that they scored, he also had three assists to his name. Some of their key departures include Ramón Miérez, Olivier Verdon, Manu Garcia and Rafa Navarro. And they have got in a couple of free transfers in Toni Moya and Taichi Hara.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have not played much football after last season. They have just played two club friendlies so far and both the results were not in their favor. They had an excellent season last year in La Liga where they failed to win the league by just two points and made it to the semifinals of the Champions League. They finished their La Liga season with 84 points from 38 matches, including 25 wins, nine draws and just four losses. The Frenchman Karim Benzema was in the form of his life as he netted as many as 23 goals out of the 67 goals that Real Madrid scored. The ace midfielder Toni Kroos was the team’s best playmaker with ten assists to his name. And more of that will be expected from them this season. Real Madrid have let go of their ace center-back Sergio Ramos along with Raphael Varane. And have got in just David Alaba.

Tipster’s Angle

Despite Real Madrid not playing many pre-season friendlies, they are still a better team irrespective of Alaves’ form. Alaves have been playing a lot recently, so they could put up a fight but Real Madrid are too strong for them.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.85

Real Madrid on the other hand have seen both teams scoring in five of the last nine matches that they have played across competitions.
