Real Madrid – Alaves: the Merengues have pride on the line 
The Santiago Bernabeu is set for a late-season clash with very real stakes on Tuesday. Knocked out of Europe and left behind in the league, Real Madrid have no margin left if they want to save face in front of their own fans. Alaves arrive with the energy of desperation, fighting to stay up. The gap in the table is huge, but the hosts’ current form does leave a small opening for the visitors. Kick-off starts a rescue mission for Los Blancos.
Real Madrid’s hangover 
The Madrid dressing room is still feeling the hit after the Bayern disappointment. Arbeloa’s men are on a worrying run of four games without a win, which is an odd sight for a club of this size. Nine points behind the Catalan leaders, the title looks gone, but the pride is still there. Camavinga’s suspension forces the coach to reshuffle midfield plans. Fans want a strong response, the kind that steadies the club as it looks ahead to next season. Another poor result and Real would be staring at an unfamiliar slump.
Alaves go for it without fear 
Alaves have found some life since Quique Sanchez Flores took charge. Lucas Boye and his team have been turning out lively performances, though they are paying heavily for their softness at the back. With just one point between them and the drop zone, El Glorioso treat every ball like it might be the last. The defensive weakness is still a heavy drag, especially after shipping nine goals across their last three away trips. Alaves know an upset in the capital would change everything in their battle for survival. They will throw everything at it from the first whistle.
Likely lineups
Real Madrid : Lunin ; Alexander-Arnold, Militao, Rudiger, Carreras ; Valverde, Tchouameni, Guler, Bellingham ; Mbappe, Vinicius Jr
Alaves : Sivera ; Perez, Otto, Tenaglia, Parada, Yusi ; Ibanez, Blanco, Guridi ; Martinez, Boye
Football Prediction Real Madrid vs Alaves
Real Madrid to win by 2 goals or more
Real Madrid’s senior figures should be desperate to make a point, and that could do damage against one of the league’s leakiest away defences. The individual quality of Mbappe and Vinicius could punish the Basque side badly.
Alaves are brave enough in attack, but they keep leaving themselves exposed to brutal counters and may struggle to live with the constant pressure of the Bernabeu. If the home side score early, this could get messy.
Expect a clear, one-sided win to straighten things out in Madrid.

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a read on the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal from nowhere… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no risk-free bet. Even when something looks obvious, it rarely is. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, you will, sooner or later.
- The smart move is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need to live. And above all: do not chase losses. That usually ends badly.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking up too much space in your day, if it gets under your skin or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if you need to, speak to a specialist group. That is what they are there for.
- At the end of the day, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and never goes away, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is banned for minors and must follow the law in your country. Gambling can spiral fast (money losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions are not a contract. They have no legal force. In plain English: you cannot use them to demand anything if a bet loses.
Information can change
A prediction always depends on what we know when it is written. But in the meantime, a lineup changes, a player gets injured, the weather turns, and the analysis can quickly go stale. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before placing a bet, check that betting is legal where you live. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling first
We cannot say it enough: gamble in moderation. If you are struggling to stay in control, do not wait to get help. We cannot be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information published on the site.
