Barcelona vs Alaves Preview & Tips
Barcelona are hot on the heels of Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table, with a single point separating the pair at the summit.
Alaves slipped to their second consecutive 1-0 loss in La Liga as they dropped three more points at the hands of Celta Vigo.
- The home side have beaten Alaves to nil in their last two meetings
- Alaves have failed to score in four of their last five league games
Head To Head
Barcelona have won nine of their last 10 meetings with Alaves, with the other match ending as a draw.
Barcelona Form
Barcelona have been in good form across the season so far, with the side winning 10 of their opening 13, while they have lost twice and drawn once.
While Real Madrid have succumbed to two draws in their last two league games, Barcelona have stormed to wins over Celta Vigo (4-2) and Athletic Bilbao (4-0), with the side netting their 36th goal of the league season in their last game.
At home, Barcelona have won all of their opening six outings, scoring 20 goals and conceding just three times. Having conceded just three goals in the league on their own patch this season, Barcelona will be confident that they can beat their opponents to nil and continue to pile the pressure on Real at the summit.
Alaves Form
Alaves have really struggled for points and goals of late, losing 1-0 in three of their last four matches. Their 2-1 win over Espanyol back on November 2 breaks up a run of four without a win that features three defeats.
On the road, Alaves have lost four times, scoring just two goals across their six outings. With three defeats in their last three away games, Alaves will not be confident heading into this one as they face a side that are perfect at home so far.
Having lost their last four matches against Barcelona, I am not confident that the away side will get close to the reigning champions in a match they will fail to score in.
Verdict
I am backing Barcelona to win this one to nil as they extend their winning run in the league to four games.
