Alaves vs. Real Madrid: What's the story?

This is simply a must-win match for Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso, with the Spaniard coming under increasing pressure due to the team's struggles.

Los Blancos lost 2-0 at home to Celta Vigo in their last league match before suffering a 2-1 reverse to Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Real Madrid's recent wobble has seen them drop four points behind division leaders Barcelona, and they have only managed to win two of their last eight matches in all competitions, which is not good enough for a team of Real Madrid's ilk.

Another poor result here would pile the pressure on Alonso.

Alaves will enter the match off the back of successive wins, beating Portugalete in the Copa del Rey and Real Sociedad in La Liga, and a solid campaign to date has seen the Basque outfit pick up 18 points from 15 matches to sit 11th in the table.
