Alaves: Current form, latest results, statistics

Alaves is one of the protagonists of the current La Liga edition. Now that we are in the right line, there are only 10 stages, ranked 5th in the ranking, with 44 points. It is well placed to catch a European position, perhaps even the Champions League. As a result of the good game and the position in the standings, the club’s leadership hastened to prolong the contract of coach Sergio Fernandez (Abelardo). This extension was signed in this international break, with the contract coming to an end on 30 June 2023. Now everything is ready for a better result. There are two very difficult meetings with Atletico Madrid and Sevilla, and it is important to stay close to Getafe, the team ranked fourth. By the end of the season, Alaves will also play with Barcelona and Valencia. The program is difficult and should be treated with great care. Jonathan Calleri, 6 goals scored, is the main host of the host team. We can say that Alaves does not have a valuable striker who can easily take advantage of the offensive actions of the team. Borja Baston and Jony, with 4 goals each, are the other scorers worth mentioning.

Atletico Madrid: current form, latest results, statistics

Atletico Madrid lost two important games in the last week, before the international break. It was eliminated by Juventus Torino, in the optimal phase, in the Champions League, and lost to Bilbao, 0-2, distanceing to 10 points in Barcelona. Chances for the title have become insignificant, not to say nonexistent. From now on, Atletico’s only goal remains ahead of the rival, Real Madrid, in La Liga’s final standings. The Champions League is not in danger, the distance to 5th place, occupied by Alaves, is 8 points. Diego Simeone is thinking about the next season. The actions have begun to rack up the players he needs. The problem is the problem of the defensive line, first of all, especially after Lucas Hernandez’s departure to Bayern was announced for 80 million euros. Godin and Filipe have not yet signed the prolongation of the contracts. Talks about De Light and Nicolas Tagliafico from Ajax Amsterdam. Also talk about Alex Telles with a 40 million-dollar clause, but Atletico is trying to get a discount. And Ruben Dias, a player belonging to Benfica, is wanted by Simeone to replace Godin. Antoine Griezmann, 12 goals scored and 7 decisive passes, is the most effective player of the guests.

Alaves vs Atletico Madrid Picks

Alaves is the team that comes with a superior motivation. It is important for her to stay as close as possible to Getafe and to wait for her weaker results. In matches played at home this season he only succumbed to Rayo Vallecano (0-1). They have not won either Mendizorroza or Real Madrid, Getafe, Sevilla or Valencia. I also looked at the direct meetings and I notice that he has not lost to more than one goal. I believe in a positive result for the hosts and therefore I will choose an Asian handicap in their favor.
