Preview: Atlético Madrid Vs Alavés
The hosts are seven points behind league leaders Barcelona.
With the November international football break now over, club football is set to resume again. This week, LaLiga giants Atletico de Madrid are set to host Deportivo Alavés for their 14th league game of season 2024-25. The stakes are completely different for both sides here, but one thing is for sure, a victory will be in the minds of all.
Atletico de Madrid have had an expected result in the first 13 games, the club are in the top three of the Spanish top division, just below the usual FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The side have won their last two games in the league and also earned an away win against Paris Saint Germain in the UEFA Champions League.
Deportivo Alavés haven’t lived up to the expectations yet this season, after finishing 10th last time. The side are having a depleting form, having won only four games in 13 games, and had just one draw and eight losses. After a good start, they have had a series of losses in the league since September 14, except for one instance earlier this month, where they edged past RCD Mallorca.
