Barcelona welcome Alavés to Camp Nou off the back of a rare two-game losing skid, yet the table still shows a 29-goal difference in a mere ten matches. Alavés travel without a win in their last four outings and sit on just three goals from their last five games. The gap on paper is enormous, but Barcelona’s leaky recent defending, two defeats in a row, gives this one a slight wrinkle worth watching.
Lamine Yamal remains Barcelona’s chief creative threat, with two goals and four assists in his last five appearances, while for Alavés, Lucas Boyé carries almost the entire attacking burden, leading his side in shots across the same stretch despite the team managing only three goals in total.
Hot stat: Barcelona have scored 40 goals in just 10 league matches this season, averaging 4 per game, and have won 29 corners in their last five fixtures alone, nearly three times Alavés’ total of 11 over the same run.

Barcelona vs Alavés prediction
Barcelona sit top of La Liga with 27 points from 10 games and a league-best goal difference of +29. Alavés, ninth on 12 points, have won nothing in their last three attempts and carry a league-low away scoring record among the top half of the table. Our punters team backs a comfortable home win, perhaps by two or three goals, given Barcelona’s 78% win rate across the whole season against an Alavés side averaging under one goal scored per game recently.
Barcelona’s possession-heavy 4-3-3 generates roughly 55 fouls and 29 corners per five-match sample, a sign of territorial dominance rather than aggression, while Alavés’ 4-2-3-1 produces fewer fouls (42) but far less attacking output (46 total shots versus Barcelona’s 99). That gap in shot volume and set-piece threat should translate directly into goals at Camp Nou.

Team Analysis
Barcelona’s last five results read 5-2 over Betis, 4-1 over Galatasaray, 3-0 over Getafe, then back-to-back defeats, 2-4 to Paris Saint-Germain and 1-2 to Real Madrid. The two losses came against top-tier continental opposition, not domestic strugglers, so the dip looks more like fatigue against elite sides than a genuine slump. In our preview of Barcelona vs Real Madrid we called a tight 3-2 home win with goals at both ends, and the eventual 1-2 scoreline went against that call, Madrid’s away form proving sharper than expected on the day.
Alavés have not won in their last four matches, drawing 1-1 with Malaga, losing 1-2 to Celta Vigo, losing 1-2 to Atletico Madrid, and drawing 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao before that. Zero wins and a 0% winrate across their last 30 days paints a side short on confidence heading into the toughest fixture of their season. In our preview of Alavés vs Malaga we tipped a narrow home win under 2.5 goals, and the 1-1 draw that followed denied the win portion of that call, even though the low-scoring part held up.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Barcelona the favourite
- Moneyline Barcelona 1.09 | Alavés 15.00
- Draw 8.50
Bookmakers price Barcelona at roughly 83% implied probability, a figure that matches their home record and goal output this season. The draw and away prices, 8.50 and 15.00 respectively with bet365, reflect how rarely Alavés have troubled sides inside the current top five. We see no value backing the underdog here, the market gap simply mirrors the quality gap on the pitch.
Possible Starting Lineups
Barcelona possible starting eleven
- GK: Joan García
- DF: Gerard Martín, Pau Cubarsí, Xavi Espart, João Cancelo
- MF: Pedri, Fermín López, Daniel Olmo
- FW: Lamine Yamal, Anthony Gordon, Gabriel Jesus
Flick keeps faith with the 4-3-3 that has fired Barcelona to 40 league goals, Joan García’s shot-stopping earning him the nod in goal ahead of the rotated backups. Lamine Yamal leads the front three on minutes and output, while Pedri’s passing volume anchors midfield control against a deeper Alavés block.
Alavés possible starting eleven
- GK: Antonio Sivera
- DF: Nahuel Tenaglia, Nicolas Valentini, Ville Koski, Jonny Otto
- MF: Antonio Blanco, Pablo Ibanez Lumbreras, Denis Suárez, Carles Aleñá
- FW: Lucas Boyé, Mariano Díaz
Quique Sánchez Flores sticks with the 4-2-3-1 shape, pairing Blanco and Ibanez Lumbreras to shield a back four that has conceded heavily on the road. Lucas Boyé, the team’s top shot-taker in recent games, carries the main goal threat up front alongside Mariano Díaz.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Barcelona to win comfortably, perhaps 3-0 or 4-0, given Alavés’ three goals scored across their last five matches against a Barcelona attack averaging four goals per game this season. To be honest, the only real question is the margin, not the winner. Backing Barcelona to win to nil alongside over 3.5 total goals captures both the dominance and the attacking volume we expect at Camp Nou.
