Alaves
Alavés are primarily a home-oriented side, having collected 15 of their points at home compared to just 4 points from nine away matches this season.
Their away form is particularly concerning. They are currently on a run of five consecutive away defeats and have scored the fewest away goals in La Liga, with only four goals in total. The head-to-head record also works against them, as Alavés have lost seven straight matches when visiting Atlético Madrid.
To make matters worse, Alavés will be without their first-choice striker Boyé, who has scored four goals this season and is sidelined through injury.
What we say
Atlético Madrid to Win
Atlético Madrid are unbeaten in their last ten home matches across La Liga and the Champions League, winning every single one of them.
Considering Alavés’ poor away form, their historical struggles at this venue, and the absence of a key attacking figure, this fixture strongly favors a comfortable home victory for Atlético Madrid.
