Best Bets

  • Real Madrid -1.75 (-110 implied): Hosts' 3 PPG in L10 and W1 streak overpower Alavés' dormant offense (0 PPG).
  • Under 3: Alavés #3 rank in goals allowed (0.1288/game) plus Real's injury-riddled attack caps total.
  • Thomas Lemar Over 0.5 Goals+Assists (-312): Best value prop with sharp over pricing amid Alavés' involvement.

Prediction

Real Madrid grinds out a 2-1 victory. Their recent 1-0 L10 edge and home advantage prevail over injuries and Alavés' defense.
