One of Sunday's four LaLiga games see Atletico Madrid and Alaves clash at Metropolitano Stadium, where the hosts will be looking to continue their assault on the all-important top four. Diego Simeone's men haven't been in the best of form since returning from the short winter break, tying with Real Sociedad in the league, before losing to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. They did resume winning ways during the week, beating Deportivo La Coruna by a goal to zero in the Copa del Rey. Can they now pick up three points in the league?
The visitors were also successful in the cup during the week, beating fellow LaLiga outfit Rayo Vallecano by two goals to zero on home soil. That was a first win in four games (in all competitions) for Eduardo Coudet's men, who haven't done too badly this season, though the Baque Country side aren't out of the fight for survival, as they sit just two points above the drop.

Our Atletico Madrid vs Alavés Prediction
The hosts have more than enough all-round quality to see of a team such as Alaves, but they've not been scoring too many goals of late, while the visitors aren't unfamiliar with avoiding complete batterings, so don't be too surprised if we see Simeone's men record a relatively low-scoring victory.
After all, the Atleti boys have not scored more than twice in any of their last three at home (in all competitions), conceding more than once in none of those three. Throw in the fact that more than three goals have been scored in only one of Alaves' nine away games in the league this season and odds of -130 start to appeal.
Our Atletico Madrid vs Alaves Pick: Atletico Madrid to Win & Under 3.5 Goals.
