After the October international break Atletico played 7 matches, in the Champions League defeat to Lille and victory over PSG, in the Spanish Cup victory over a little known club. In this period, the hosts of the field in La Liga have a defeat from Betis away 0:1, victories over Leganes, Las Palmas and Mallorca. In the standings of the Spanish championship Atletico is in 3rd place, having 26 points. The future hosts are 7 points behind Barcelona, the leading team in La Liga. Atletico's home statistics are 4th in the division, +4=2-0, 12:2 goal difference. Note the fact that no one in La Liga has conceded less than the team in home matches.

After the October international break, Alaves played 5 matches, four in the Spanish league and one in the Spanish Cup, won by Compostela 1:0. In La Liga, Alaves have defeats against Valladolid, Rayo and Villarreal, with one win over Alaves 1:0. In the Spanish league standings Alaves are in 15th place with 13 points, the Basques are 3 points ahead of Espanyol, the team in the relegation zone. Alaves' away statistics are 16th in the division, +1=0-6, 7:15 goal difference. Obviously, Alaves have problems in away matches.

We have pointed out that Atletico have the best defence in La Liga in home games, with just two conceded goals in six meetings. While Alaves' attack is not powerful, the Basques are scoring an average of just over one goal per game in La Liga 2024/25. We believe that the teamcan not only beat their opponent in Saturday's match, but also do not concede a goal in their own net. In general, we don't expect a very effective match, but we expect the Red and Whites to win with a two goal difference.
