Real Madrid vs Alaves Prediction & Betting Tips (14 May)

Bursting into the streets of Madrid to celebrate their 36th Liga title in their history over the weekend, Real Madrid players still have a season to finish but it is clear that they deserved to reclaim their iron crown having lost only Only one match this season in the elite against Atlético in September. Now, it's hard to imagine Ancelotti riding free until the Champions final on June 1 against Dortmund. The championship matches will be used to prepare for this umpteenth Merengue final and they already demonstrated it last weekend by slapping Granada in Andalusia 0-4 with a "B" or even tertiary team. Deportivo Alaves did not aim to win the title but to maintain it. Result of the races: maintenance acquired and probable place in the top 10 with only one point behind Getafe.

Last weekend, the Basques had a 4th day without defeat by holding off the revelation of the year, Girona with an equalizing goal in the 99th minute 2-2. It's a real performance all the same since as a reminder, the Catalans were trying to take 3 points to secure their second place in the standings. Before this draw, El Glorioso had picked up 9 points in 3 matches by beating Atlético Madrid 2-0, Celta Vigo 3-0 and Valencia at Mestalla 0-1.

Huge blow for Aurélien Tchouaméni (undefeated this season as a starter with the RMA) who would suffer from metatarsal fatigue and who would even seem uncertain for the final of the Champions and for the Euro (OUT this evening). Let's note as a bonus Alaba's definitive package for a few weeks now. Luka Modric (2018 Ballon d'Or), decisive passer on Merengue's 4th goal against Granada, should indeed leave the club and cede his number 10 to a certain Kylian Mbappé. Toni Kroos will remain an additional freelancer while Nacho will take over the management of MLS. Often considered as a replacement, Brahim Diaz is clearly an X factor, a supersub with his 8 goals and 4 assists in La Liga (double against Granada).

This evening, the Brazilians Rodrygo (10 goals, 5 assists in La Liga) and Vinicius Jr (13 goals, 5 goals in La Liga) could find their place in the eleven to keep the pace. On the Alaves side, only central defender Sedlar ( ruptured cruciate ligaments) will be missing for this meeting since Samu Omorodion (9 goals in La Liga) will return from suspension. Author of 5 goals and 4 assists in La Liga this season, Rioja (10 pawns last year in D2) will be on the trip as will all the important elements of the club over the season (Guridi, Benavidez, Kike Garcia or again Gorosabel).
