A return to winning ways in La Liga will dominate Atletico Madrid’s agenda when they welcome Alaves at the Wanda Metropolitano. The two sides are 19 points apart, with Atletico in fourth spot and Alaves 16th. Below is our match prediction.
Atletico overcame Deportivo La Coruna 1-0 after enduring a two-match winless run. In that period they suffered a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid in the Super Cup and had earlier drawn 1-1 with Real Sociedad.
It was their fifth draw this season and left a massive dent in their title push. The hosts now enter this round trailing leaders Barcelona by 11 points. They are, however, on a good run at home, winning eight of their nine league matches there.
Alaves have posted six wins less than Atletico and are battling in the lower reaches of the league hierarchy. After 19 matches, they’ve managed as many points, and that places them just two points above the relegation zone.
The visitors warmed up for this encounter with a 2-0 home win at Rayo Vallecano in the Copa del Rey. That brought to a halt their three-match winless streak, having suffered two defeats in that period.
This may not end well for Alaves, who have only managed three wins in the last 10 away encounters. Only one of those wins was in La Liga.

Our Atletico Madrid vs Alavés Prediction
Alaves are among the poor performers in the league, and yet here they face off with a title contender. This looks like it will be a one-sided affair. The visitors avoided defeat in the last two matches against Atletico, both ending in draws.
Their recent form doesn’t depict a side that can pull off another such result against Atletico. Alaves are winless away from home in La Liga, while Atletico are unbeaten at home in the league. Our prediction for Atletico Madrid v Alaves is for Atletico Madrid to win with a clean sheet.
