Deportivo Alaves host Atletico Madrid at the Estadio de Mendizorroza on Saturday. Alaves will be looking to get back on track after a three-game winless stretch, while high-flying Atletico Madrid aim to maintain pressure on league leaders Barcelona. Deportivo Alaves are in 6th place. El Glorioso started the season strongly under Quique Sanchez Flores but have cooled off recently, capturing just one point from their last three matches. However, home turf remains their fortress as 9 of their 11 points this season have come at Mendizorrotza. Furthermore, Alaves hold an impressive streak, remaining unbeaten in their last four home league meetings against Atleti. The guests are in 2nd place. Diego Simeone's squad enters on high momentum following three straight LaLiga victories, capped by a 2-1 win against local rivals Real Madrid. Sitting five points off Barcelona, Atleti cannot afford slip-ups and will aim to establish early dominance before their upcoming Champions League games.
