Bookmaker Ratings prediction three – Handicap Real Madrid -2 goals – 2.60
Real Madrid are probably the best team in the Spanish league, and in 12 home games they have yet to lose a game, while Alaves are the second worst away team and their last five away games have all ended in defeats.
Alaves have conceded 16 goals in their last five away games, we think Real Madrid have more than enough potential to keep up with Alaves’ average of three goals conceded per game.
As we think that Madrid can win this match by a difference of at least two goals, we think it is a good Handicap to deduct two goals from them and still keep them winning the match.
Real Madrid’s last few games have been marked by a drop in the number of total goals per game, only 11 goals in their last five games. A bit low considering that they are the highest scoring team and the team with the most shots per game.
Continuing with shots per game, Madrid have an average of 18.42 shots per game, of which 7.33 are on target. A very high average of shots per game, but they need to improve the direction of those shots.
So far this season, Real Madrid have finished nine times winning in the first half and on all nine occasions they ended up winning the game at the end of the match. So, they are a team that, when they take the lead, it is unlikely that they will not end up winning the game.
For Alaves, their last five games have ended with nine goals conceded and only three goals scored. They have now gone back-to-back games in which they have not conceded a goal in the first half, but in those games they conceded five goals in the second half.
Between the 11th and 20th minutes of matches is when Alaves concede the most goals, with eight goals conceded out of the 39 total goals they have conceded.
If Madrid take the lead, Alaves will have no choice but to defend less and attack more, which will benefit Madrid even more, as they will be able to do even more damage on the counter-attack. For this reason, we think that this match will have more than 1.5 total goals in the second half. This bet has odds of 1.80 at William Hill.
Real Madrid arrive at this match with their full squad available.
