Valladolid - Valencia

After a tragic visit to the Champions League, Real can redeem themselves against Alaves. Real has a series of 6 wins against Alaves and 4 recent away wins. After a very unsuccessful match, a rehabilitation is expected as the club may be left without any titles, while Barcelona leads in the league. However, their chances in the Champions League seem slim as they were unable to score against Arsenal, so their goal conversion should improve now.

Somewhere Real is showing signs of recovery and I'm looking forward to their match against Alaves, which is in 17th place. Not only do they need some form and confidence to recover before their return match with Arsenal, but it is also an extremely important game in terms of the league standings as they are currently -4 points behind Barcelona (and it could soon be -7) who seem almost unbeatable, so let's collect some points here and gradually start closing the doors on La Liga. Alaves is not one of those Zane's teams that have a significantly better home game record, so I believe this away game can be easily won by Real. I expect a score of 0-3.

People may say that the Champions League is more important for Real, but I don't think they have ever considered the Spanish title unimportant. With such transfers and investments, the goal is to become the country's champion. Especially looking at the current CL situation. Yes, they are capable of returning the intrigue with Arsenal, they can definitely do it at home. However, losing or not getting 3 points today could bury their chances for the Spanish title. And the team could end up with nothing if they also lose the final against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey. Knowing how they have played el clasico this year, I think there is a lot of anxiety. I will bet on over or under today, but it is crucial to win against Alaves.

I wanted to wait until Real announces the official lineup, because as expected, there are rotations, Bellingham, Vini on the bench, and this affects the possibility of getting better odds for goals. And I think they will still be able to win even without these players. Real has enough class in the attack to break through Alaves, but recently they have had major problems with defense. Alaves does not have an impressive attacking line, but it is difficult to remember the last time Real managed to keep a clean sheet against any caliber team, and sometimes their defensive performances are tragic. Therefore, at least in terms of scoring, the hosts will have a chance.
