Atletico Madrid have had a tough run recently, losing three of their last five matches. They did manage a win and a draw in that time, so they will be looking to find better form. Alaves have also been struggling, with just one win and several losses in their last five games.

When these two teams met earlier in the season, they drew in a match that saw a couple of goals. Based on their recent results, this upcoming match could be a close contest as both sides try to improve their form.
