Head to Head Record
In the previous 16 top-flight meetings between the two sides, Atleti just about edge it, having won on seven occasions. Alaves, however, have emerged victorious five times and will fancy their chances of adding another victory to that tally on Saturday.

A solitary goal has been the biggest winning margin in the club's last seven meetings. Fans can certainly expect a cagey affair this weekend.
Recent Form
Diego Simeone's side have been impressive but not spectacular this season. Defensive solidity has always been emphasised under the Argentine and again his side boast the best defensive record in the league.
Atletico have become this season's draw specialists, struggling to find a winner on seven occasions this term. For all their troubles offensively, Atleti are still in the hunt for the title and will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.
