Barcelona vs Alaves Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Blaugrana to host Alaves in next LaLiga match.

FC Barcelona will be playing their upcoming LaLiga match at home against Alaves on February 2. Blaugrana are looking to go hard in the title race. With a win, they will have equal points as second-placed Atletico Madrid.

They will also want to close down their gap from the number one spot. Meanwhile, Alaves are close to the relegation zone and are in need of a win here.

Barcelona at their home will have a clear advantage of their home fans. Hansi Flick’s men will be confident as they secured a dominating win over Valencia in their last league match. It should be an easy outing for Barca as they are in good form. They are in a good spot right now and can still give Real Madrid a proper fight for the LaLiga title this season.

Players to Watch

Raphinha (Barcelona)

The Brazilian forward has been in a sensational form this season. Raphinha has led his team to wins in different clashes this season. He can be a real danger to Alaves’ defence.

The 28-year-old threatens the defence of his opposition with his movements and position on the pitch. Goal scoring has been one of his favourite things on the field this season.

Kike Garcia (Alaves)

Kike Garcia is known for his ability to find spaces in opponents’ defence and with that he annoys his opponents time and time again.
