Deportivo Alaves vs Atletico Madrid prediction, odds and how to watch

Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 2-1 in a feisty Madrid derby at the Wanda Metropolitano, with Jonathan David's goal and a penalty from Alejandro Grimaldo doing the damage before Antonio Rudiger gave Los Blancos hope in stoppage time.

Deportivo Alaves bossed possession, fired 24 shots, and kept the Athletic Club goalkeeper busy with six saves, but could not find a way through in a goalless draw at San Mames.

Atletico Madrid dismantled Osasuna 4-0 at home, with goals from Jonathan David, Kang-in Lee, Robin Le Normand and Álex Baena completing a statement performance. Osasuna had no answer and, frankly, never looked like they would.

Valencia ended a run of four consecutive La Liga defeats with a gritty 1-0 win at Deportivo Alaves, substitute Luis Rioja settling the contest with a right-foot finish twelve minutes from time. Alaves dominated large portions of the match but paid the price for squandering two big chances.

VfB Stuttgart host a badly misfiring Atletico Madrid side on Tuesday night, and the numbers tell a story that no laptop is required to read. This is Stuttgart's chance. The question is whether they have the desire to take it.

Celta Vigo have not won in five La Liga matches and are averaging less than a goal a game. Deportivo Alaves arrive inconsistent but capable of genuine damage, and Sunday's match in Vigo could go several ways.

Atletico Madrid travel to Espanyol on Saturday in confident form, facing a home side that has won just once in their last five La Liga matches. Something has to give at RCDE Stadium.

Jose Mourinho and Diego Simeone face off as rival managers for the first time in over a decade when Real Madrid visit Atletico Madrid, with Real's poor Metropolitano record and Barcelona's perfect start raising the stakes of a genuine title-race flashpoint.
