Desperately seeking an essential boost on Sunday afternoon, Real Madrid will travel to the Basque Country when they meet Alaves.
Watching their Champions League dreams take what could have been a critical blow as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Arsenal on Tuesday night, Los Blancos have come under a tremendous amount of scrutiny over the past week.
Although Alaves might find themselves at the heart of a La Liga relegation scrap, some around the Mendizorroza might be smelling the opportunity to spring what would be a heavyweight upset this weekend.
Knowing that their title charge could be hanging in the balance on Sunday afternoon, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Alaves vs Real Madrid Bet Builder Tips.
All the pressure on Ancelotti
Completely blown away in north London on Tuesday night as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Arsenal, Real Madrid have seen their European and domestic title dreams take a real blow over the past week.
Suffering last-gasp heartbreak at home against Valencia earlier in the week as they were hit with a 2-1 defeat, the pressure on Carlo Ancelotti’s shoulders appears to be at a boiling point.
Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat four points adrift of arch-rivals Barcelona, the former AC Milan boss will know the importance of his superstar squad claiming an essential response here.
More than aware that they can’t afford another public slip-up on Sunday afternoon, Los Blancos should at least take some solace from a dominant record against Alaves.
Including an action-packed 3-2 victory when they welcomed the Babazorros to Madrid for their reverse meeting on September 24th, they have won all of their previous six consecutive meetings by an aggregate score of 20-4.

Mbappe looking to get his Golden Boot charge back on track
While Kylian Mbappe might have cut a frustrated figure following Los Blancos’ 3-0 drumming in north London on Tuesday night, the French skipper has enjoyed a sensational maiden campaign among Spain’s elite.
Although the 26-year-old might have failed to find the net in his last three appearances across all competitions, Mbappe has enjoyed a record-breaking run since arriving from PSG last summer.
Marking his return from March’s international break with a brace against Leganes, Mbappe now sits just three goals away from dethroning Robert Lewandowski in the race for this season’s Golden Boot.
In fact, along with mustering 22 goals in his 28 La Liga appearances this season, Mbappe has registered 31 strikes across all competitions for the reigning European champions.
Finding the net when Los Blancos welcomed Alaves to the Spanish capital back on September 24th, Madrid’s attacking talisman will be desperate to kickstart his Golden Boot charge.

Alaves looking to spring a heavyweight upset
Dragging themselves to what was a crucial 1-0 victory away at Girona last weekend, Alaves will be desperate to widen their buffer over the drop zone here.
However, although Sunday’s hosts might have suffered just a sole defeat from any of their previous five La Liga appearances, the Basque-based outfit have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their top-flight status.
Marking their return from March’s international break with a 2-0 loss at the hands of Rayo Vallecano, Alaves have shown some worrying issues on home soil.
Including consecutive 1-0 losses against Gatafe and Espanyol back in February, Eduardo Coudet’s camp have lost three of their previous four La Liga showdowns in front of their own supporters.
In fact, Alaves have managed to muster just a single victory from any of their previous eight consecutive showdowns at the Mendizorroza – a rut that stems all the way back to November 1st.
