Real Madrid have been on a roll in La Liga after a shaky start to the season, aiming for their fifth consecutive league win as they prepare to take on Alaves. The visitors, on the other hand, have been in solid form themselves with three wins and a draw in their first six games, sitting just four points behind Los Blancos.

Kylian Mbappe’s high-profile transfer to Real Madrid over the summer has been a major talking point, with the French star making an immediate impact by scoring four goals in six games, albeit three of them from penalties.

One of the new signings at Real Madrid, Brazilian youngster Endrick, has also been making waves with his impressive performances off the bench. Scoring against Valladolid earlier in the season and finding the net in the midweek Champions League win against Stuttgart, Endrick is expected to start in place of the injured Jude Bellingham and could add to his tally with a goal against Alaves.

Real Madrid have dominated their previous meetings with Alaves, keeping clean sheets in the last three encounters. Therefore, a 3-0 victory for the hosts is a likely outcome according to the experts.
