Competition: Spanish La Liga
Market: Atletico Madrid to win against Alaves
Odds: 2/9 @ William Hill

Atletico Madrid welcome Deportivo Alaves to the Vicente Calderón tonight in the Spanish La Liga, and are big favourites to come out on top to get off to a perfect start this season. Diego Simeone’s men are notoriously formidable at home and could give their newly-promoted opponents a real examination as a result.

Last season, Atleti finished third in the Spanish La Liga with 88 points from 38 games, having conceded just 18 goals for their troubles. The home side lost just once at the Vicente Calderón in 2015/16, boasting a 79% win ratio, and will be desperate to start the season strongly as their title-rivals seldom slip up.

As for their opponents, Alaves won promotion from the Segunda Division last season but could be overawed at the Vicente Calderon. Goals were sparse on the road in 2015/16, and Alaves also suffered defeat on more away games than any side in the top-six.

With the visitors struggling for goals on their travels, while Atletico boast the best defence in La Liga, tonight’s game is likely to go the way of the visitors. William Hill are giving odds of 2/9 for Atletico Madrid to win against Deportivo Alaves this evening.
