Real Madrid

Real Madrid have had an outstanding 2023-24 La Liga campaign, boasting a record of 28 wins, six draws and one defeat from their 35 matches, which has left them at the top of the table on 90 points.

The title was officially secured on May 4, and Los Blancos then booked their spot in the final of the Champions League courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the second leg of their semi-final at Bernabeu.

The next three weeks will be about management of the squad, with head coach Carlo Ancelotti revealing that he has a clear plan when it comes to the minutes each player will receive to put them in prime condition for the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1.

Such is the strength of their squad and confidence in the camp, Ancelotti could make wholesale changes against Granada on Saturday and still watch his side record a 4-0 win, with Brahim Diaz netting a brace, while Fran Garcia and Arda Guler were also on the scoresheet.

Los Blancos have been outstanding at Bernabeu this season, picking up 47 points from their 17 matches courtesy of a record of 15 wins and two draws, and their final three league games of the campaign are against Alaves (H), Villarreal (A) and Real Betis (H).

Alaves

Alaves have found it difficult on their travels this season, only securing 14 points from 17 matches, while they have lost each of their last four La Liga games against Real Madrid, including a 1-0 defeat earlier this season.

The Basque outfit famously won 2-1 at Bernabeu in November 2020, though, and this will be a free hit for the Blue and Whites, who have impressed following their promotion from the Segunda Division last term.

Luis Garcia Plaza's side have picked up 42 points from their 35 league matches this season, which has left them in 11th spot in the table, only one point behind 10th-placed Getafe.

Alaves will enter this match in excellent form, picking up 10 points from their last four matches, beating Atletico Madrid, Celta Vigo and Valencia before drawing 2-2 with Girona on Saturday.

El Glorioso were on the verge of losing 2-1 to Girona, but Jon Guridi netted his second of the match in the ninth minute of added time at the end of the 90 to secure a point for the hosts, who will take on Getafe (H) and Las Palmas (A) in their final two matches of the campaign.

Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Alaves
