Deportivo Alaves – Barcelona, Prediction – La Liga

| Barça have 11 wins in their last 12 games against Alaves

⚽ Alaves is an extremely defensive team

Alaves has been playing very defensively since the start of the season – something that has been typical of the team overall in recent years. This is especially noticeable in their home matches and for now the tendency is for Alaves’ matches to be decided by the first goal, because in every match until the moment when Deportivo allowed the first goal, they necessarily lost this match, and in those who scored first, necessarily won at 0.

🆙 Barcelona recovered with success over Juventus after El Clásico

The refereeing scandals around El Clásico do not subside even after a week, and during that time Barcelona already had one match in the Champions League, and not against anyone, but against Juventus. A game in which they won 2-0. In the groups of the European tournament at the moment everything is perfect, but in La Liga the Catalans have 2 consecutive losses and 1 draw before that, which is extremely bad for their standards.

After 1 point in 3 games, Barça are obliged to take the victory this time

 Expert view: We think that the statistics of Barcelona against Alaves are definite. There are teams against which it is simply easy for Barça to win their matches. Such a team is that of Alaves. Given this, and the fact that Barça are coming after an important victory against a great team like Juventus in the Champions League, both as a guest and in need of points, we think we have enough arguments to expect an expressive victory for Barcelona. Prediction – Barcelona -1.0 Asian Handicap at 1.74.
