Alavés arrives in a good dynamic for tonight's visit to Real Madrid (Valdebebas, 9 pm, Movistar LaLiga). The team of Pablo Machin He has not lost in four games, with two important draws against Barcelona and Valencia, which make him optimistic to face the whites.
The people from Vitoria added a victory and three draws to escape from the bottom of the table and will seek to surprise, as they did 20 years ago at the Santiago Bernabéu with a goal from Jorge Azkoitia that was the only victory for Glorioso.
Pablo
Machin maintains casualties due to injury Pere
Pons and of George
Frank 'Burgui', Isolated by coronavirus, which was joined Manu
Garcia Last monday.
This leaves the core very touched, short of troops, with only three players from the first team who will be able to develop their game in that area: the Argentine Rodrigo
Battaglia, Thomas
Pineapple Y Jot
Peleteiro, so it is likely that a player from the subsidiary team will join the call to have alternatives in that position.
The babazorro trainer recovers Edgar
Mendez after completing the penalty game last day and aims to be one of those who will start. What is not clear is whether Machín will bet on a 4-5-1 or a 4-4-2 to try to surprise Real Madrid.
Despite the drawing, the 'eleven' albiazul will hardly change. It will have Fernando
Pacheco in the goal that returns to the house where it was formed; and in defensive work they will participate Ximo
Navarrese, one of the best in the past day; Victor
The guard, Florian
Lejeune Y Ruben
Duarte.
In the center of the field I could play Edgar
Mendez, Jot
Peleteiro, Battaglia, Thomas
Pineapple Y Luis
Rioja and up, Deyverson, although logically Luke
Perez Y Joselu they also have their options.
For their part, Real Madrid wants to use the morale that the victory against Inter gave them to return to the path of victory in LaLiga. The Whites arrive with morale up after the important victory at Inter's home, which leaves the qualification for the second round of the ‘Champions’ in their hands, and they want to convey that image of “team” that the Frenchman insists on Zinedine
Zidane to a domestic championship in which they add two consecutive games without knowing victory: a defeat, against Valencia (4-1), and a draw, against Villarreal (1-1).
Far from the leader
Two results that have moved him away from the leader, although with one game less, Real Sociedad -23 points- and Atlético de Madrid, who with eight games, for Madrid's nine, has 20 points in his locker, three more than the white set. Being regular means being strong again at the back and the victory against Inter is the way to go. First clean sheet for a Thibaut
Courtois to whom repeats the Zamora trophy. Precisely in the defensive section is where Zidane has received another bad news yesterday Friday since Dani
Carvajal suffers “a muscle injury in the right adductor muscle” that could leave him off the pitch for two to three weeks.
In addition, captain Sergio Ramos is still injured in the biceps femoris, although the pair Varane–Nacho arrives with high morale after his great game against Romelu
Lukaku. The medical part is completed Alvaro
Odriozola Y Fede
Valverde, due to injury, and Luka
Jovic, who remains isolated after testing positive for coronavirus. The good news for Madrid is the growth of the Belgian Eden
Hazard.
