It’d been a busy time for Spanish football and the fun continues this weekend in a game that should see goals. Which of the two teams will be doing the scoring? Read on for our predictions.
The game between Deportivo Alaves and Barcelona will take place at the Estadio de Mendizorroza on the 3rd of February.
The hosts begin this round of fixtures in 12th place on 26 points while the visitors are in 3rd place on 47 points.
Alaves come into the match having beat Almeria 3-0 away from home in La Liga last weekend.
Almeria have been completely cut adrift at the bottom of the table and it was a comfortable win for Alaves, who opened the scoring in the 10th minute.
Alaves scored their second goal shortly after half time and added a third in the 88th minute.
The win over Almeria means Alaves are undefeated in 5 of their 6 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
They have won 4 of their last 5 games, with the additional victories coming over Sevilla away and Cadiz at home in La Liga plus Real Betis at home in the Copa del Rey.
Statistics show Alaves have a good record of 30 undefeated games in their last 36 home encounters in all competitions.
However, they have lost 2 of their 3 most recent home league matches, failing to score a goal in both defeats.
Barcelona make the trip to the Estadio de Mendizorroza on the back of a 1-0 win over Osasuna in La Liga on Wednesday night.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 63rd minute and it was a big moment for Vitor Roque, who scored his first goal for the club since arriving from Brazil.
The win over Osasuna came on the back of 2 straight defeats for Barcelona.
There was a 4-2 extra-time defeat at the hands of Athletic Club in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals and a 5-3 home loss against Villarreal in La Liga.
Trends show in their last 24 away games in La Liga, Barcelona have been undefeated on 20 occasions.
Scoring goals has not been a problem and Barcelona have found the back of the net in 21 straight La Liga clashes.
Barcelona are undefeated against Deportivo Alaves in their last 13 encounters in all competitions.
Team news: Alaves are without suspended defender Andoni Gorosabel. Aleksandar Sedlar will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury.
Barcelona have a significant injury list with João Félix, Sergi Roberto, Álex Balde, Raphinha, Íñigo Martinez, Marcos Alonso, Gavi, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen all in the treatment room.
Barcelona have a good record against Alaves and we expect that to continue in this game. We could see a rare clean sheet for Barcelona as they score the goals to come away with all 3 points.
