Barcelona vs Alavés Preview and Team News

Barcelona Team News

Barcelona’s crushing victory over Valencia (7-1) was a relief following a four-match winless streak in La Liga. Hansi Flick’s side scored five unanswered goals in the first half and eventually won the game with ease, moving them seven points closer to leaders Real Madrid.

In the Champions League, the team achieved success finishing second with 19 points. Against Atalanta, they managed to clinch a 2-2 draw and Barcelona became the highest-scoring club, with 28 goals to their tally.

Ahead of the match, Barcelona have several injury worries. Inigo Martinez and Dani Olmo are still sidelined, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal are long-term absentees. Andreas Christensen is questionable due to a calf injury. 

Barcelona predicted lineup vs Alavés (4-3-3): Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, Araujo, Balde; Pedri, de Jong, Casado; Yamal, Raphinha, Lewandowski.

Alavés Team News

Similar to other seasons, Alavés’ main goal is to secure a place in La Liga. Eduardo Coudet’s men currently sit 17th, only a point ahead of Espanyol. However, against Barcelona, they will probably have slim chances of getting a positive result. 

In the last round, the visitors grabbed a 1-1 draw against Celta. In the past six rounds, Alavés lost only once and are on a three-game unbeaten streak on the road. 

Kike Garcia has been a major goalscorer for the guests with nine goals to his account. The 35-year-old scored once against Barcelona and will aim to upset them again.

Joan Jordan, Antonio Rivera and Abdel Abqar are unavailable for the match. The latter picked a yellow and will be suspended. 

Alavés predicted lineup vs Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Owono; Tenaglia, Diarra, Mouriño, Sanchez; Protesoni, Guevara; Vicente, Guridi, Conechny; Garcia.

Barcelona vs Alavés Prediction

• Pick: Handicap Barcelona (-1.5)
• Odds: 1.57 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Alavés

Barcelona are perhaps the most entertaining team to watch in Europe. With 59 goals scored in La Liga, no other club comes close and they frequently net three or more goals in every match.

Alavés are heavy underdogs in this encounter and we don’t expect them to put up serious resilience against Barcelona. The guests last won in 2016 and, since then, have drawn only once in seven matches.

Barca, on the other hand, are an attacking team that has already scored 27 goals in nine matches. We think that they will dominate from the first minute, similar to what they did against Valencia and crush their opponents. Our first pick would be Barcelona to win with (-1.5) handicap. 

Barcelona vs Alavés Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Robert Lewandowski to Score Anytime
• Odds: 1.66 (22Bet)

Despite his age (36), Robert Lewandowski shows no signs of slowing down. In 20 La Liga matches this season, the Polish forward has 17 goals to his account, and he is lethal as always.

Alavés are ideal opponents for Lewandowski, as Barcelona will have the majority of possession and the opportunity to create plenty of chances. He will surely get opportunities, and we expect the Pole to net at least once.

If we take a look at the stats, he scored three goals in the previous three meetings. We think that he won’t leave the pitch without a goal and our second pick is Robert Lewandowski to score anytime.
