THE PREDICTION
Alaves begin the year following a fairly under par point at Osasuna on New Years’ Eve. Despite their opponents being down to ten men after just eight minutes, they went behind and had to rely on another Lucas Perez penalty to earn a draw. It now means that they have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six; something that highlights how this is a mid-table club with mid-table ambitions. They come up against an Atletico side with a determined and ruthless streak. Rather than Cholismo 2.0 from the start of the season, they have reverted to a dogged style since their defeat against Real in December. Three wins on the bounce against Elche, Real Sociedad and Getafe have lifted them to top of the table with two games in hand on sides below them. Alaves will put up a fight but this one looks like an Atletico win by 1-0 or 2-0.
