In this upcoming La Liga clash, Deportivo Alaves are fighting for survival, sitting just inside the relegation zone. With strong home performances lately and scoring two or more goals in seven of their last nine home games, Alaves will look to capitalize on Barcelona’s likely squad rotation following their recent title win. Barca, having little to play for and expected to rest top players to prevent injuries, may see their defense tested. The recommendation is to back Alaves to score at least twice.

It’s been a while since Alaves failed to score in their La Liga matches. Barcelona are likely to rest their star players after winning the title on Sunday, so I will back the Vitoria side to net at least two times. 

Key Stats  


  • Alaves have scored 2+ goals in 7 of their last 9 home matches. 
  • Barcelona have failed to keep a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 away matches. 

Barca Dominate H2H 


Barcelona were victorious in 36 out of 50 head to head matches, Alaves celebrating just seven victories. 

Alaves Desperate for Points 


Deportivo Alaves have been struggling recently, claiming just five points in their last five league games and currently sit inside the relegation zone, just one point short of safety. 

They were ahead for 72 minutes last weekend in relegation derby against Elche, Toni Martinez converting a penalty, but ultimately had to settle for a 1-1 draw. Alaves were more dangerous here with 2.05-1.40 xG. 

The Vitoria side has been tough to beat at home recently, beating Mallorca 2-1, grabbing a point against Osasuna 2-2, while losing to Bilbao 4-2 even though they were ahead twice. 

Blaugrana Expected to Rotate 


Barcelona have lifted the La Liga trophy on Sunday evening at Camp Nou after defeating archrival Real Madrid 2-0. Blaugrana had full control here, finding early goals through Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres, allowing just one shot on target. 

It took them 81 minutes to break the deadlock last weekend against Osasuna in Pamplona, Robert Lewandowski appearing on the scoresheet, while Ferran Torres doubled the lead five minutes later, leading Barca to a 2-1 win. 

Hansi Flick’s side also had a solid run in the Champions League where they reached quarterfinals, losing 3-2 on aggregate to Atletico Madrid. This tie was heavily influenced by Pau Cubarsi’s early red card in the first tie. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Alaves (4-4-2) Antonio Sivera; Hugo Perez, Nathan Otto, Nahuel Tenaglia, Victor Parada; Abde Rebbach, Denis Suarez, Antonio Blanco, Ander Guevara; Toni Martinez, Ibrahim Diabate

The Basque side remain without the services of Lucas Boye due to a hamstring strain, while Carles Alena is unavailable through suspension. Furthermore, Facundo Garces continues to serve a disciplinary sanction.

Barcelona (4-2-3-1) Joan Garcia; Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo, Alejandro Balde; Frenkie de Jong, Pedri; Marcus Rashford, Gavi, Fermin Lopez; Robert Lewandowski

Barcelona have their own absentees, with Lamine Yamal and Andreas Christensen sidelined through injury. Raphinha also misses out after picking up a milestone yellow card during the weekend's victory.

Verdict

Barcelona should leave their star players on the bench in Vitoria to avoid injuries ahead of World Cup 2026. This should help Alaves find the net more easily, and considering their good efficiency at home, I will back them to score at least twice.
