Prediction and Preview

Barcelona faces Alaves in an anticipated La Liga clash as they aim to recover from a disappointing Champions League result against Shakhtar Donetsk. The 1-0 loss has put Barcelona in an uncomfortable position in Group H, with just a three-point lead over third-placed Shakhtar.

Xavi's team, currently third in the La Liga table, has encountered a challenging period, losing two of their last three matches, including a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid in El Clasico. Their recent league victory over Real Sociedad, however, showcased their resilience.

With a record of eight wins, three draws, and one defeat in 12 league matches, Barcelona holds 27 points, sitting behind Real Madrid and surprise leaders Girona. The upcoming matches against Atletico Madrid and Girona in December make a win against Alaves crucial for Barcelona to maintain their position.

Alaves, on the other hand, enters the match with momentum, securing successive wins in the Copa del Rey and La Liga. Promoted through the 2022-23 Segunda Division playoffs, Luis Garcia's side currently sits 14th in the table with 12 points. Despite a solid defensive record, conceding only 16 goals, they struggle in front of goal, sharing the lowest goal-scoring record with Las Palmas and Cadiz (10 goals).

In their last La Liga encounter during the 2021-22 campaign, Alaves held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw at Camp Nou. Their history includes a memorable away victory over Barcelona in September 2016, adding intrigue to this clash.

Barcelona needs to overcome recent setbacks and secure three points to stay competitive in La Liga, while Alaves seeks to continue their positive momentum and climb the table. The match promises an exciting battle between two teams with distinct strengths and motivations.

Barcelona possible starting lineup:
Ter Stegen; Cancelo, Araujo, Kounde, Balde; Gundogan, Romeu, Fermin; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Felix

Alaves possible starting lineup:
Sivera; Gorosabel, Abqar, Marin, J Lopez; Blanco, Guevara; Hagi, Guridi, Rioja; Kike Garcia
