The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.

Deportivo Alaves vs Real Madrid Preview

Real Madrid are currently in second place in the La Liga standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. Los Blancos slumped to a damaging 3-0 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Deportivo Alaves, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled over the past year. The home side edged Girona to a narrow 1-0 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Aditya is a European and international football writer at Sportskeeda, covering previews, news, post-match articles and live blogs for 5 years. During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
