Where to watch
- The Alaves vs. Real Madrid match will be broadcast in the United States on ESPN Select.
Nothing short of a win is likely for under-pressure Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso, as he looks to silence growing speculation about his future at the club with an away win over mid-table Alaves in La Liga.
Manchester City increased the pressure on Alonso under fire with a 2-1 win over Real Madrid in midweek in the Champions League, a match previously reported as a must-win for the former Bayer Leverkusen coach. While Alonso escaped sacking after that defeat, with rivals Barcelona now holding a significant lead at the top of La Liga, another loss today is likely to bring an early end to what would have been a short, painful spell at the Bernabéu.
Meanwhile, the hosts have 18 points from their opening 15 games, with the Basque outfit continuing to impress following a 1-0 win over visiting Real Sociedad last weekend – a result that moved Eduardo Codet’s side up to 11th in the table.
Deportivo Alaves faces Real Madrid at the Estadio Mendizorroza in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Sunday 14 December. Kick-off is set for 9pm CET local time, 3pm ET or 12pm PT In the United States and Canada, 8pm GMT In the United Kingdom and a 7am AEST The match kicks off in Australia on Monday morning.
Real Madrid has achieved just one win in its last five La Liga matches under coach Xabi Alonso.
