Barcelona vs Alaves Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | LaLiga 2026-27
Babazorros emerged victorious the last time these sides met.
FC Barcelona are all set to battle it out against Deportivo Alaves in their matchweek 11 fixture of the LaLiga 2026-27 season. The Spotify Camp Nou is all set to witness this intense outing.
The Hansi Flick-led side are coming off a 1-2 loss against Real Madrid in the recent El Clásico. Despite controlling the majority of the ball possession, they failed to defend well. Barcelona have now faced consecutive losses in their last two matches and will be desperate to get back to winning ways.
The Blaugrana will once again be at home, and they must utilise the advantage this time around. They continue to stay at the top of the Spanish top division points table and will now look to extend their lead.
With their 1-1 draw against CF Malaga, Babazorros have now failed to secure a win in their last five LaLiga matches and are going to be under pressure for their next one. Quique Sánchez Flores’ men were trailing by a goal and secured a point in the final moments after a late equaliser.
Being away from home will make things challenging for Deportivo Alavés.
