Team news, recent form, and potential lineups for Alaves vs Barcelona
While the guests are the clear favourites in this game, this could still be an interesting game. So, let's take a closer look at both teams now:
Alaves
The short run of good results by Alaves was once again replaced by a prolonged run without a win in La Liga – the poor streak now stretches to nine games without a win for Alaves. The team found itself back in the relegation zone and they are currently three points behind the first team outside of it.
On the bright side, Alaves doesn't have a lot of problems when it comes to team shape since only Ruben Duarte and Ximo Navarro are due to miss the next game with injuries.
Alaves predicted lineup:
Pacheco – Aguirregabiria, Miazga, Lejeune, Lopez – Jason, Moya, Garcia, Rioja – De La Fuente, Joselu
Barcelona
The last week has been eventful for Barcelona, but not in a good way. The team was first eliminated in the Spanish Cup semi-finals by their fierce rivals Real Madrid. Then, a few days later, Barcelona was also eliminated from Copa del Rey by Athletic Bilbao after losing the game after extra time. So, Blaugrana is in desperate need for a good result now and the fans are hoping that Alaves will pay the price.
The situation at the club is not great, as was the case most of the season. Umtiti, Fati, Wague, Garcia, and Sergi Roberto are definitely out with injuries, while Depay remains questionable. On top of this, Gavi is suspended for this game, while Dembele is in a clinch with the club and unlikely to appear in any games after his recent outburst.
Barcelona predicted lineup:
Ter Stegen – Alves, Araujo, Pique, Alba – Pedri, Busquets, F. de Jong – Torres, L. de Jong, Jutgla
