El Glorioso has only scored 19 goals this season, so getting anything past Thibaut Courtois, one of the league’s best goalkeepers, will be difficult.
Why should you support Alaves?
El Glorioso enters with some confidence after winning its fifth game of the season on Sunday, a 2-1 triumph against Valencia. It also won the most recent game between these teams, a 2-1 triumph at Alfredo di Stefano Stadium in Madrid in 2020. Joselu scored the game-winning goal in both games, in the 49th minute of the 2020 encounter and on a penalty kick on Sunday. He has six penalty goals to lead the league, and he is tied for third overall with 12 goals. He definitely annoys opponents with his boxing ability, and he now has 51 shots in La Liga.
Alaves also excels in the air, winning just under 58% of aerial duels to lead the league. Joselu, who stands at 6-foot-4, is one of La Liga’s finest in this area. Matt Miazga of the United States Men’s National Team is in fifth place with a 77.6 percent victory rate, however he has started the last three games from the bench. El Glorioso has a lot of shots, but just 29.3 percent of them are on target, which is the third-lowest percentage in La Liga. Vctor Laguardia, who is tied for sixth in the league in successful clearances (118), and Ruben Duarte, who is tied for fifth in interceptions (49), are both tenacious defenders. Real has only managed to score once in its last four games.
