Atletico Madrid enters the match in impressive form, having won their last three league games, including victories over Real Sociedad, Osasuna, and Real Madrid. They currently sit second in the league standings with 16 points.
In contrast, Alaves, who are sixth with 11 points, have experienced a recent dip in form, failing to win their last three league encounters. However, they boast a strong home record at the Estadio de Mendizorroza, with three wins from four matches this season, scoring nine goals in the process. Key player Lucas Boye has contributed four league goals for Alaves.
The head-to-head record favors Atletico Madrid, with six wins in their last ten meetings.

Probable line-ups include Sivera for Alaves and Oblak for Atletico Madrid.
