Match preview
Barcelona continue to show inconsistency on the European stage: after a 3-3 draw with Club Brugge in the previous round, Hansi Flick’s team suffered a heavy defeat to London’s Chelsea in round five — 0-3. The Blaugrana created almost no chances against the Blues and, as a result, dropped to 18th in the group standings with seven points. Things are much better in La Liga: Barcelona are hot on Real Madrid’s heels, sitting on 31 points and trailing Los Blancos by just one. In their last five La Liga matches, Barcelona have recorded four wins, losing only to Real, with a combined score of 14:6.
The Catalans will be eager to put the Chelsea match behind them and show their best football on Saturday. Expect them to dominate possession, control the tempo, and craft beautiful attacking moves as they chase another league victory.
Alaves continue to play a gritty, stubborn brand of football against every opponent: across 13 rounds, their matches have produced just 23 goals, and they’ve collected 15 points to sit 14th in the standings. In their last five outings, Alaves have beaten only Espanyol (2-1), losing to Rayo Vallecano, Girona, and Celta (all three by 0-1), and drawing 0-0 with Valencia.
There’s no doubt Alaves will drop deep and try to frustrate Barcelona, looking to hit on the break with quick counterattacks. Their resilience will be crucial if they are to get anything from this match at Camp Nou.
Probable lineups
Barcelona: J.Garcia; Kounde, Cubarsi, Araujo, Balde; E.Garcia, De Jong; Yamal, Fermin, Ferran; Lewandowski
Alaves: Sivera; Jonny, Tenaglia, Parada, Enriquez; Blanco; Calebe, Suarez, Alena; Vicente, Martinez
Match facts and head-to-head

Prediction
Barcelona are having serious defensive issues and, despite Alaves’ limited attacking threat, I believe the visitors can get on the scoresheet. My prediction: both teams to score — YES at 1.9
