This weekend, Barcelona aims to secure their position in the top four of the Spanish top flight standings with a victory over Alaves in an away game.

The 2023-24 season started off quite sluggish for Alaves, with only two victories recorded in their first eleven league matches. However, progress has been noted as the season has advanced. Luis García’s team has collected ten points from their last four games, propelling them seven positions clear of the relegation zone. They now have a ten-point gap separating them from the bottom three.

At the beginning of the season, Barcelona was doing well, going undefeated in their first fourteen competitive games across all competitions. However, Xavi’s team couldn’t maintain this momentum, as evidenced by several disappointments. They lost the Supercopa final 1:4 to Real Madrid, were knocked out of the Copa del Rey, and are currently third in the league.

Alaves vs Barcelona Betting Tips: Barca to win

Alaves enters this match with a three-game winning streak in La Liga, however, their historical record against Barca is quite dismal. The last time Luis García’s team defeated the Blaugrana was in 2016, and they have since played 13 games without a victory, suffering 11 losses and managing only two draws.

In this division, Barcelona and Girona are the only teams yet to lose an away game this season. Last time against Osasuna, Xavi Hernandez had another injury setback while Ferran Torres was injured early in the first half. However, we believe that the visitors have enough quality to secure a victory in this game.
