Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Alaves
The visitors will be fighting for their top-flight survival - and though Alaves sit six points off the drop zone, they are not safe yet.
Still, Real have shown nerves of steel since the restart - especially penalty specialist Sergio Ramos - and it would be no surprise to see Zidane's captain decide another game from 12 yards.
