Where to watch Alavés vs Real Madrid?

Thursday’s match will see teams from opposite sides of the table clash. While Alavés is only three points above the relegation places, Real Madrid is involved in the title fight. They are currently two points behind Girona. The favourite for the match is therefore clear. You can see whether the White Ballet will confirm this role on the pitch on Thursday 21 December at 21:30 on Nova Sport 3.

Alavés soaked in relegation fights?

Almost half of the season is over and Alavés are currently in fourteenth place. However, it is not a quiet mid-table position, as it is only three points ahead of the first relegation spot, currently occupied by Celta Vigo.

A great end to the calendar year for Real Madrid

Real Madrid are enjoying a great end to the 2023 calendar year, with their last league loss coming at the end of September against Atlético Madrid, when they lost 3-1 to their city rivals. Since then, Carlo Ancelotti’s team has not experienced the bitterness of defeat.

Despite this, Real Madrid are behind in the title race. They are two points behind Girona, the biggest surprise of the current campaign. However, it has a seven-point lead over its old rival Barcelona.

Alavés vs Real Madrid odds

I also recommend a bet on the aforementioned Jude Bellingham to score. The 20-year-old English midfielder already has thirteen accurate shots in the current league season, which is more than a third of the team’s goals.

Betting tip – More than 2.5 goals

Real Madrid boast the second best attack in La Liga, scoring more than two goals per game on average. Moreover, it has always managed to win its last three matches with Alavés by a difference of three goals. Therefore, the tip is that the match will see at least three goals.
