Deportivo Alaves v Real Madrid
Match previews for Deportivo Alaves v Real Madrid
Real Madrid returned to Lariga Action on Sunday when he travels to Deportivo Alleves.
The Los Blancos are hoping to Arsenal in the Champions League mid-week and bounce ahead of Spain’s return leg next week.
But things are not calm in the Spanish capital. Madrid’s recent performance has reached expectations, and now the poor form has been converted into negative outcomes.
Following the 2-1 home defeat to Valencia, losses this weekend raised concerns and brought the Los Blancos closer to what could be seen as a crisis, although at the high standard set by the Santiago Bernabeu.
Previously under the leadership of Celta Vigo’s Eduardo Coudet, Alaves were able to get out of the drop zone thanks to a timely victory last weekend.
The Basque outfit won the 1-0 away victory over Girona, with Carlos Vicente scoring the decisive goal in the 61st minute.
Deportivo Alaves v Real Madrid Team News
The Alaves face a headache of choice that three players are not available due to the suspension. Goalkeeper Antonio Sivera is also ruled out as midfielders John Gridy and Thomas Conneciney.
Carlo Ancelotti may consider shuffling the lineup as the key Champions League second leg is on the horizon. That said, even domestic slip-ups could seriously sacrifice them in the league’s title race.
Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos have recently joined the injury list, but other key players, including Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, remain on the sidelines.
