Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After suffering a shocking loss to Alcoyano in the Copa del Rey last 32, Real Madrid will be looking to give fans some cheer when they take on Deportivo Alaves at Estadio Mendizorrotza. Los Blancos aim to melt Atletico Madrid’s advantage in the La Liga standings, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Alaves. Real Madrid were beaten by the Basque outfit earlier this season, meaning that the Spanish giants are hungry for revenge.
Since Sergio Ramos, Tony Kroos, Karim Benzema, and Luka Modric return to the starting XI, away win should be considered. Deportivo Alaves, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in all competitions, with the team conceding ten goals in total in those matches. Since Real Madrid are eager to get their revenge on Deportivo Alaves, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Zinedine Zidane’s troops.
Highlighted Player (Manu Garcia):
Manu Garcia is a product of Real Sociedad youth academy. The Spanish midfielder, who was born on 26 April, 1986, started playing for Real Sociedad B at the age of 19, making 101 appearances for the Basque outfit between 2005 and 2008. He scored 18 goals for Real Sociedad B and, as a result, Eibar chiefs decided to sign him in July, 2008. Manu Garcia spent the 2008/2009 season on loan at Real Union, scoring eight goals in 29 appearances for the club and in 2010 he joined Logrones.
Finally, in June 2012 he made probably the best decision of his career as he signed a contract with Segunda Division side Deportivo Alaves. Manu Garcia made 37 appearances for El Glorioso on his debut season and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular.
Garcia scored five goals for Alaves in the 2015/2016 Segunda Division campaign and, no doubt, he helped the team secure promotion to Primera Division. He has a contract with Alaves which expires on 30 June, 2018.
Highlighted Team (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.
Real Madrid play their home matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the capacity of the stadium is 84,454. Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s most successful footballer in the 21st century and the Portuguese superstar has won two Golden Ball awards.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
