Real Madrid look for three points away at Alaves
Kick-off : 4:15 PM (Local)
Venue : Mendizorroza, Vitoria-Gasteiz
Champions Real Madrid will look to bounce back on Saturday after a shock 1-0 loss to Real Betis in midweek.
Los Blancos are seven points off league leaders Barcelona after dropping points in three of their five league matches.
This is for the first time since Zidane has took over that he has been asked questions about his tactics.
But fans of Real Madrid will still be hopeful that they can make a comeback as Madrid have won a lot of titles recently.
Alaves will need to score as they have not scored a single goal this season. Though they are not the last in La Liga but they will need to improve.
Team news and possible line-ups
Bojan Krkic will not be available for Saturday’s game due to injury. While Munir El-Haddadi will be available against Real Madrid.
Alfonso Pedraza, Ruben Sobrino and Oscar Romero are available and might get a start in Saturday’s match.
As for Real Madrid, Marco Asensio is available and could make a start on Saturday alongside Ronaldo and Bale.
The Madrid midfield should consist of Kroos, Casemiro and Modric. However their is doubt whether or not Marcelo will play on Saturday.
Alaves XI : Pacheco, Martin, Ely, Maripan, Duarte, M. Garcia, Torres, Franco, Pedraza, Ibai, Munir.
Real Madrid XI : Navas, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Kroos, Casemiro, Modric, Asensio, Ronaldo, Bale.
Prediction
After Wednesday night’s match it is not a given that Real Madrid will win Saturday’s game. But seeing that they have won trophies recently it will be fair to say they are the favorites. So I expect Madrid to win 2-1.
