Alavés vs Real Madrid La Liga Preview: Start Time, Date, Team News, How To Watch & Live Stream

Real Madrid will face relegation-threatened Deportivo Alavés at Mendizorroza on Matchday 31 of La Liga on April 13.

Carlo Ancelotti's side is on a two-game losing streak after their shock defeat at the hands of Valencia last weekend and their mid-week Champions League collapse against Arsenal. A victory in this game against 17th-placed Alavés is now crucial if they want to stay in the race for the La Liga title.
