Real Madrid's next La Liga fixture comes against Alavés just three days after Los Blancos defeated Espanyol.
Before the defending Spanish champions can look ahead to the Madrid derby this weekend, they first must host Alavés. Still four points behind Barcelona in the La Liga standings, Real Madrid needs to collect all three points on Tuesday to keep the pressure on Hansi Flick's squad atop the table.
Alavés might be coming off an impressive victory over Sevilla, but the club has not secured a positive result against Los Blancos since 2020. In fact, the last time these two sides met at the Santiago Bernabéu, Carlo Ancelotti's men fired five goals past Jesús Owono. Antonio Sivera will hope to do a better job between the posts for Alavés, especially if Ancelotti opts to rotate his front line.
