Real Madrid will be aiming to make it three straight victories in Spain's top flight when they continue their campaign at home to Alaves on Tuesday night.
Carlo Ancelotti's side will enter the contest off the back of a 4-1 success over Espanyol in La Liga, which moved them into second spot in the table.
Alaves have also had a strong start to the campaign, though, picking up 10 points from their opening six matches to occupy fifth position.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides ahead of their contest in the Spanish capital.
