Alaves have been up and down, with a couple of defeats in their last five games, though they did get a win on the road recently. Barcelona, on the other hand, have been more consistent, winning three of their last five matches, even if they did suffer a loss in their most recent away game. Looking at the history between these two sides, their recent meetings have often produced goals, with high-scoring affairs being common, such as a 3-1 and a 5-1 result in past seasons.

This match looks like it could be an open contest, but Barcelona have had the upper hand in recent encounters, winning four of the last five head-to-heads. Given Barcelona's stronger recent form and their historical dominance in this fixture, they are the team most likely to come away with a win.
