The 2025-26 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Deportivo Alaves lock horns with Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid side in an important encounter at the Estadio Mendizorroza on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Deportivo Alaves vs Real Madrid Preview
Deportivo Alaves are in 11th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side edged Real Sociedad to a crucial 1-0 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table and have been fairly impressive this year. Los Blancos slumped to a damaging 2-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will need to work hard to bounce back this weekend.
