Real Madrid welcome Alaves to the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday evening as the Liga leaders aim to get back to winning ways.
Carlo Ancelotti's men were beaten by PSG 1-0 on Tuesday night in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, while last weekend saw them held to a goalless draw by Villarreal in the Spanish top flight.

Real Madrid are on a 22-match unbeaten run at home in La Liga and they are offered at 2/9 (1.22) with bet365 to claim three points.
Alaves, meanwhile, come into the game having beaten Valencia last weekend, their first league triumph in three months.

Real Madrid vs Alaves first goalscorer
Karim Benzema made his comeback from injury in Paris in midweek and La Liga's top scorer is priced at 11/5 (3.20) to break the deadlock on Saturday evening.
Vinicius Junior, meanwhile, is priced at 15/4 (4.75) while Alaves striker Joselu can be backed at 10/1 (11.00).
The forward has netted 63 per cent of the Basques' goals this season, by some distance the most significant contribution of goals from any player in any team in La Liga.
Real Madrid vs Alaves preview
They may be leaders of La Liga, but Real Madrid this season have struggled at home against sides from the lower part of the table.
The likes of Elche, Cadiz and Osasuna have all managed to leave the Bernabeu with a point, with the latter two managing to keep clean sheets.
Indeed, Madrid have not been as prolific in front of their own fans as in previous seasons, with Ancelotti's men scoring more than two goals on just one occasion in their last 10 games.
Alaves will look to frustrate Madrid as others have done and opposing a high-scoring game should be of interest.
