VS
Real Madrid vs Alaves is a Spanish status-gap meeting where Madrid’s established authority meets an Alaves side capable of keeping margins narrow. Real Madrid won 2–1 at the Bernabeu in April 2026, 2–1 at Mendizorroza in December 2025 and 1–0 there in April 2025. Alaves’ 2–1 win in Madrid in November 2020 remains a reminder that control must be earned.

Stats for this game
Matchup Real Madrid VS Alaves
Madrid set the steep reference
Real Madrid bring the greater resources and the clearest expectation in this pairing. Their 2–1 victory over Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu on 21 April 2026 followed a 2–1 away win at Mendizorroza on 14 December 2025. Madrid had also won 1–0 in Vitoria-Gasteiz on 13 April 2025 and 3–2 at home on 24 September 2024. The scores show a favourite that usually finds a route through, while also leaving Alaves within striking distance.
Alaves can make authority work
Alaves’ 2–1 victory at the Alfredo Di Stéfano on 28 November 2020 supplies the clearest interruption in the established order. Even in Madrid wins, the margin can remain narrow, as the 2–1 and 1–0 results illustrate. That makes the challenger’s task clear: stay organised, defend the decisive spaces and make the first opening count. Madrid must convert pressure into security as well as goals. A future meeting will pose a durable question about whether the favourite can establish separation early or whether Alaves can keep the contest alive deep into the match.
