Alaves, Recent FormLast time out, Alaves recorded an impressive 3-0 away win against Almeria. Their share of possession in that meeting was 36%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Almeria, who had 19 shots on goal with 7 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Luis García Plaza will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have conceded at least one goal in 7 of their 10 home games this season.
Goalscorer Luis Rioja will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Alaves.
Barcelona, Recent FormBarcelona will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Osasuna. In that game they recorded 68 % of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 8 shots on goal.
Manager Xavi Hernández will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 11 goals conceded in the same period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 21 of their 22 games this season.
They have not lost away from home for an impressive 10 games in a row.
Ferrán Torres has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Alaves.
Alaves suffered the disappointment of a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Barcelona the last time they met in the league.
Blaugrana will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Alavés, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 14 meetings between the two. Babazorros have struggled for goals when Barca comes to visit The Estadio Mendizorrotza, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, Barca have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Alavés. Barca have a good attacking record away to Babazorros in the league, having scored a total of 7 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.33 goals per game.
Barca has won the last 2 games they've played against Alavés in the league.
Alavés player Luis Rioja will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Barca, having scored 3 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
There is only really one injury concern for the Alavés manager Luis García Plaza ahead of this clash, with Aleksandar Sedlar (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives García Plaza a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With both Alejandro Balde (Tendon) and Pablo Gavi (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Marcos Alonso (Back), João Félix (Ankle), Iñigo Martínez (Muscle), Raphael Raphinha (Thigh), Sergi Roberto (Achilles tendon) and Marc-André ter Stegen (Back) all unavailable in the shorter term, Barca manager Xavi Hernández will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
