Real Madrid-Alavés: Return to league action at the Di Stéfano | OneFootball

After the recent victory at the San Siro in the Champions League, the third of three consecutive away games, Real Madrid return to the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium on matchday 11 of LaLiga against Alavés (09:00 pm CET). Zidane's side, who play at home for the first time in 25 days, will be aiming to record their sixth victory of the season in their 10th match of the competition.

Zidane, who is among the candidates for the FIFA Best Coach Award 2020, said at the press conference ahead of the clash: “If we work as a unit and are focused, we're very tough to beat”. The Frenchman has named a 19-man squad and is now without the injured Carvajal. Real Madrid have not conceded a goal against Alavés on the Basques' last five visits. In the matches between these two sides since the 2016/17 season, when Alavés returned to the Primera División, the madridistas have netted a total of 12 times.

Four games unbeaten After a slow start to the season, Pablo Machín's side are on a good run of form. They go into the game unbeaten in their last four outings, which include the likes of Valencia and Barcelona. They currently occupy sixteenth position on 9 points, with 9 goals scored and 12 conceded..
