Alavés vs Real prediction, H2H and probable line-ups - April 13, 2025
On April 13, 2025, the Mendizorrotza Stadium will host the 31st round of the Spanish La Liga, featuring a clash between Alavés and Real. I suggest betting on one of the teams to win.
Alavés
Alavés continues its desperate fight to stay in La Liga. The team has gained good momentum: in the last five rounds, they have earned 8 points — a commendable achievement for a team near the relegation zone.
Currently, Alavés has 30 points, trailing the danger zone by just two points. Facing one of the league's leaders doesn't require extra motivation, but the standings intensify the importance of every result for the hosts.
However, the team's home form raises serious concerns. In their last six home matches, Alavés has secured only one victory, losing four times. During this period, they have scored only twice, highlighting their struggles with scoring at home.
Real
The Madrid giants are experiencing a severe crisis. The team is on the brink of exiting the Champions League after a crushing 0-3 defeat at the Emirates against Arsenal. In the national championship, the situation has also worsened: a loss in the last round against Valencia increased their gap from leading Barcelona to four points. Further point losses could definitively end Madrid's title ambitions this season.
Real is under pressure to end a three-match losing streak — such an extended negative run has not occurred with the Madrid club for a long time.
Carlo Ancelotti is highly likely to rotate the squad ahead of the return match with Arsenal in the Champions League. This factor could play into Alavés's hands, slightly easing the task for the Basque team in the upcoming match.
Probable line-ups
- Alavés: Sivera, Krapivtsov, Murillo, Abqar, Diarra, Sanchez, Jordan, Blanco, Vicente, Guridi, Martin, Garcia
- Real: Fran, Vázquez, Tchouaméni, Rüdiger, Garcia, Diaz, Camavinga, Valverde, Bellingham, Mbappé, Vinicius
Match facts and H2H
- Alavés has one of the worst home attacks in the league. The club has scored only 11 goals at home.
- In their last six away matches, Real has only once scored more than one goal.
- In the first round in Madrid, Real defeated Alavés 3-2.
- In the last 4 head-to-head encounters at Alavés's field, Real has consistently won.
Prediction
Real needs a victory to maintain motivation in La Liga and keep the pressure on leading Barcelona. Dropping points in the upcoming match could definitively knock Madrid out of the title race, considering the current standings. The odds for a "Blancos" victory are 1.6.
