Brilliant Blancos to breeze past Alaves
Real Madrid extended their unbeaten La Liga run to 11 games, overpowering Villarreal 4-1 at the weekend. Their seventh win in eight home games temporarily lifted them back to the top of the table. However, this was short-lived, as Girona’s victory on Monday night over the hosts altered the standings.
Not surprisingly, Los Blancos are the favourite to be the winner of this fixture at relatively low odds. However, we can find more favourable odds by taking them to be winning at both half-time and full-time.
Looking at the stats, we can see that Alaves have lost at half-time and full-time in three of their nine games at Estadio Mendizorrotza this season. This is the most frequent outcome. Similarly, Madrid have been winning at both halftime and the end of the game in their away games.

Hosts latest to be set for Jude awakening
Jude Bellingham headed his side in front before the half-hour mark. This was thanks to a superb lofted pass from Luka Modrić in the 4-1 victory over Villarreal on Sunday night. It has become an almost obligatory feature of Real Madrid’s games this season.
The 20-year-old has blanked in just four of his 15 La Liga appearances this term, scoring 13 goals. That scoring tally is the highest in the Spanish top flight. The chance to back him to improve that tally at favourable odds makes him a must-add to our tips for this game.
Bet 2: Jude Bellingham to score @ 2.75 with bet365
Basques expected to fight their corner
We should expect Alaves will be dominated in most aspects of this game. They average just 42% possession at home. They have only managed to control more of the ball once this season and that was when hosting rock-bottom Almeria.
As a result, it is something of a surprise to see Luis García Plaza’s side consistently win corners. They have the 7th highest average when playing at home in La Liga. Alaves have accumulated 47 so far from their eight fixtures at Estadio Mendizorrotza, with an average of 5.88.
They have taken at least five in each of their last four games on home soil, hitting 12 on two separate occasions. I am not letting the head-to-head stats on this one put me off adding over 4.5 Alaves corners to my predictions.
Bet 3: Over 4.5 Alaves Corners @ 3.00 with Bet9ja
Madrid to receive plenty of Christmas cards
The last time these two sides met here it was a pretty tame affair. Madrid ran out as a comfortable 4-1 winner. Only three cards were shown, one to the home side and two to the visitors.
In the meeting before that, the scoreline was identical with another 4-1 win for the away side. However, that contest was much more feisty and even saw eight players cautioned, three from Madrid’s side. Los Blancos also had three players carded here in 2019.
In Alaves’ last five home games, their opponents have seen at least three players receive bookings.
Bet 4: Over 2.5 Real Madrid cards @ 2.17 with Bet9ja
