Real Madrid will be aiming to bounce back from successive defeats when they travel to Alaves in La Liga on Sunday afternoon.
Los Blancos suffered a 2-1 loss to Valencia in Spain’s top flight last weekend, with the result leaving them second in the La Liga table, now four points behind division leaders Barcelona.
Carlo Ancelotti‘s side were then in Champions League action on Tuesday night, suffering a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the first leg of their quarter-final, which has left them with a mountain to climb ahead of the second leg.
Alaves, meanwhile, will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 victory over Girona, but Eduardo Coudet’s side remain locked in a battle at the bottom of the division, currently occupying 17th position in the table.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Alaves and Real Madrid ahead of what is a huge match for both sides at Mendizorrotza Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Karim Benzema is the all-time leading goalscorer in this fixture, having scored nine times against Alaves during his time at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid are on 116 goals against Alaves, conceding just 32, and Los Blancos are on a six-game winning run against this weekend’s opponents, netting eight times in the last two games between the two sides.
That said, Alaves do have a recent famous win over Real Madrid to their name, having recorded a 2-1 victory when the two teams locked horns at Bernabeu in November 2020.
Alaves have only beaten Real Madrid twice since 2000, though, while there has not been a draw between the two sides since October 2001.
Two of Alaves’ five wins over Los Blancos have actually come at Bernabeu, also triumphing 1-0 in the famous stadium back in 2000.
In La Liga, the teams have met on 37 occasions, with Real Madrid winning 31 times to Alaves’ four, drawing twice in the process.
The last meeting between the two sides at Mendizorrotza Stadium came in December 2023, with Real Madrid securing all three points courtesy of a 1-0 success.
