Alaves vs Real Madrid Prediction 14 December 2025
🎙️ What conclusions have Real Madrid drawn after suffering back-to-back defeats in all competitions? The final match of Sunday's La Liga schedule features a clash between Alaves and Real Madrid. Currently, Xabi Alonso's position at the helm of Los Blancos no longer appears unassailable. Given this, the Spanish manager urgently needs to take measures to address the situation. Heading into the matchup against Alaves, the capital club is heavily favored by bookmakers, with odds giving them a threefold advantage.
Head-to-Head
📊 Real Madrid have consistently emerged victorious in their last seven head-to-head encounters. The last triumph for the "Bean Destroyers" was during the 2020/21 La Liga campaign with a narrow 1-0 win. Last season, the "Galacticos" showcased their dominance at the Santiago Bernabéu with a 3-2 victory and also secured a hard-fought win at Mendizorrotza (1-0). It's crucial to note the average goal-scoring performance over the past 10 meetings: Alavés average 0.7 goals, while Real Madrid average 2.6.
Head-to-head statistics Alaves - Real Madrid
Deportivo Alaves Team Overview
🔵 The "Bean Destroyers" continue to hold their ground as a solid mid-table side in La Liga. Currently, Eduardo Coudet's squad sits 11th in the standings, having accumulated 18 points from 15 matches. Most of Alaves' points have been secured at home, with 14 points from 8 games. This season, they've suffered just two home defeats at Mendizorrotza - against Sevilla (1-2) and Celta Vigo (0-1). Looking at their average performance in this La Liga campaign, they score 0.87 goals per game while conceding 1.
⚪️ The "Glorious" are showing significant progress under Eduardo Coudet's leadership. Currently, the team from Vitoria-Gasteiz is not associated with a relegation battle - they are aiming for more ambitious goals. In the previous round, Mendizorrotza witnessed Alaves' victory over Real Sociedad (1-0). The "Bean Destroyers" played in their usual style - sitting back with a focus on midfield compactness. Their favored tactical setup is the 4-1-4-1 formation, where the role of a defensive midfielder is particularly crucial for Alaves' coaching staff. The team's top scorer this season is Lucas Boye, the Argentine forward who has netted 3 goals in 11 La Liga appearances.

Real Madrid Team Overview
⚪️ The "Los Blancos" are known for their relentless ambition. This high standard means the club's fans have little tolerance for failure, and if setbacks become routine, the head coach usually doesn't last long. In their last five La Liga matches, the "Galacticos" have managed just one victory, a 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao. Currently, Real Madrid's situation is far from dire-sitting in second place in the standings and trailing the leaders by just four points, they still have a shot at triumph by season's end. The capital club's scoring stats stand at 2 goals per game, with an average of 0.94 conceded.
📌 Last weekend, Real Madrid stunned the football world and disappointed their own supporters with a home defeat to Celta Vigo (0-2). Debating the fairness of the refereeing decisions could go on endlessly, but it would be pointless if the "Celts" simply outperformed them tactically. Smart positional defense and effective man-marking were crucial in determining the outcome. Midweek, the "Galacticos" suffered another setback, this time falling to Manchester City (1-2). In the coming days, we'll see how well Real Madrid can handle immense pressure and whether the right person is at the helm as head coach.

Latest news
Deportivo Alaves
📰 Perhaps the biggest news of the past week is the contract extension of Argentine defender Nahuel Tenaglia until 2029. Here's what the player himself had to say about this significant event: "It's a pride to continue being part of this project. Alaves have given me the opportunity to grow both as a player and as a person. I feel very connected to these colors, and I want to keep helping the team move forward." The club's sporting director, Sergio Fernandez, also commented: "Tenaglia embodies our DNA: commitment, effort, and ambition. His continuity until 2029 is fantastic news for the present and future of Alaves. We are convinced he will continue to be a benchmark both on and off the field."
❌ Among Alaves' unavailable players, Facundo Garces stands out due to suspension. Jon Guridi's participation remains in doubt due to a knee injury.
Real Madrid
🎤 After a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in the sixth round of the Champions League, Xabi Alonso spoke to the press: "I don't think we have anything to blame ourselves for. We started the match very well, but there are moments when any mistakes are particularly costly. The opponent took the lead just 10 minutes [after our goal], and we didn't control the game well at first, but then we managed to take control until the end. Our actions weren't precise enough, but I can't fault the players. When you're in a delicate situation with so many injuries, you feel less confident, which is why the 'Citizens' quickly turned things around; they are strong. We conceded few, but it was enough. When things aren't going well, you get chances but fail to capitalize on them. My future? It's not about me. I'm focused on Real's next match, that's what's important."
❌ In the capital club's injury list are David Alaba (muscle injury), Trent Alexander-Arnold (hip injury), Eduardo Camavinga (ankle injury), Dani Carvajal (knee injury), Eder Militao (hamstring injury), and Ferland Mendy (muscle injury). Additionally, they cannot count on Endrick, Álvaro Fernández, and Francisco García due to suspensions.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Interestingly, both clubs boast solid defenses. Real Madrid concede around 0.9 goals per game, while Alaves allow roughly 1. This coming Sunday, Los Blancos are in desperate need of a victory, so they will strive to minimize risks and secure the desired outcome. Our editorial team does not anticipate a goal fest, suggesting the following bet - total under 3 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The last 7 head-to-head encounters between these teams have seen no more than 10 corner kicks. Notably, this trend is consistent with most of their previous matches. Let's consider the average number of corners conceded by each side this season: Alaves at 4.4, Real at 3.1. Taking these points into account, we recommend total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
Alaves are showcasing impressive football at home, causing trouble even for the giants of Spanish football. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are not in their best physical and mental shape. Notably, last season the "Los Blancos" managed to defeat the "Brave Ones" twice, but only by a narrow margin each time. Our editorial team predicts a final score of 1-1. The key bet is Alaves to win with a +1 handicap.
