The Real Madrid faces tonight the Alaves in the stadium Alfredo Di Stéfano (9:00 p.m., Movistar LaLiga) with the obligation to resume the path of victory in The league after the debacle in Mestalla (4-1) and the stumble before him Villarreal (1-1) in the two previous days that have moved him away from the top of the table. The team of Zinedine Zidane, very unstable in The league, wants to consolidate the good feelings shown before him Inter de Milan in San siro with a soothing victory against Alavés that allows him to straighten his league course and incidentally regain a regularity that has been conspicuous by its absence this season.
The whites arrive at the meeting pressured by the latest negative results and by the rhythm that has been imposed at the top of the classification by the Royal Sociedad and the Atlético de Madrid, to date much more constant than the set of Zinedine Zidane. Although there is still much League to play, a new setback at home would subtract their margin of error and return doubts to a white team that seemed to come out strengthened from their victory against him Inter de Milan in the Champions.
Zinedine Zidane He still cannot empty the infirmary and he will not be able to count on today's duel Dani carvajal, who suffered a muscle injury to the adductor short of his right leg in the Whites' last training session before receiving the babazorro team. His place on the right-hand side could be occupied by Nacho or Lucas. The absence of Carvajal adds to the already known of Bouquets, Odriozola, Valverde, Jovic (by Covid) Y Benzema. The French striker continues to suffer from hip discomfort and has not yet been able to play since the return from the national team break. The good news for the Marseille coach is the return of Eder Militao, recovered at the end of the coronavirus, and who could enter the defense axis as a companion to Varane.
The historical data of Real Madrid – Alavés
Hazard, to continue to gain confidence
Eden Hazard will return to act as leader of the white attack due to the loss of Benzema. The Belgian winger, whose progression is being slower than expected, will chain his third start to continue having minutes that give him confidence, just what he claimed after the white victory at San Siro to regain his best level. At the top of the attack, except for surprise, Mariano could repeat the presence also accompanied by Asensio, substitute against Villarreal and Inter.
Alavés, meanwhile, lands in Valdebebas pressed by his delicate qualifying situation but with high confidence because he has four games without knowing defeat. Machin will not be able to count on Burgui nor Manu García, being isolated by coronavirus, but he recovers Édgar, who returns after his sanction.
