Alaves lost the previous 3 matches in LaLiga, but their situation is still not alarming regarding a potential drop into the danger zone. They have 7 points more than Cadiz, which is quite a nice advantage for only 7 rounds before the end. However, there should not be too much relaxation because the competitors are waiting for every opportunity to break through the table. In 15 matches played this season in Vitoria, Alaves achieved 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses, which is an average result but certainly better than many teams in this competition.

Atletico Madrid experienced a painful elimination in the 1/4 finals of the Champions League against Dortmund. It was an excellent opportunity to reach the semi-finals because they had a 2-0 advantage at one point in Madrid and also an active result in Dortmund, but the German team showed that they have a greater desire for a positive outcome. Now it remains for the club from Madrid to confirm their participation in the next season's Champions League, and their advantage at the moment is 4 points compared to the first follower Athletic Bilbao

Alaves vs Atletico Madrid pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

This season, 64 goals have been scored in Alaves matches, which is just a little more than 2 goals per match on average. In the first match in Madrid, they lost 2-1 against very strong opposition. As for the home matches against Atletico, they had much more success there. Let's say, in the previous match they beat this rival 1-0. What is guaranteed is very strong resistance from the hosts. Atletico certainly still have that duel against Dortmund in mind and we shouldn't expect a maximum from them, so a tough match with 1 or maybe 2 goals is very possible.

Under 2.5 goals is definitely a great betting option here
