THE PREDICTION
Alaves come into this with a potential dream double over Real Madrid. Their 2-1 win in late November was part of a two-game sequence with deeply threatened Zinedine Zidane’s role as manager. It is also one of eleven times where both teams have scored in Alaves games; they’ve only played 19 games. Real Madrid, never far from crisis despite consistent success, have dipped into another crisis. Defeat to Athletic in the Supercopa semi-final was backed up by a defeat to third tier Alcoyano; those two results followed up a dour 0-0 draw, in tough weather conditions, against Osasuna. That run has narrowed Real’s hopes of 2021 silverware to the league and Champions League; a league title race whereby they are four points behind city rivals Atletico and Atletico have two games in hand. Real will expect a reaction but Alaves have proved they are capable - it could be quite high-scoring so over 2.5 goals is a good bet.
