Deportivo Alavés have lost 19 of their last 21 LaLiga matches against Real Madrid, winning the other two games (1-0 in October 2018 and 1-2 in November 2020), this is their longest ever run without a single draw against a single opponent in the competition.

Real Madrid have won on their last five visits to Mendizorroza in LaLiga and could become only the second team in the competition's history to secure six consecutive away victories against Alavés, after Osasuna between 2006 and 2023 (six).
