Prediction published on 03/02/2024, 04:16  by Sridhar in LaLiga Predictions

Barcelona will look to get some much-needed momentum into their campaign as they travel to midtable side Deportivo Alaves. This La liga matchday 23 will be played at the Mendizorroza Stadium on Saturday. The hosts are 11th ahead of this round with 26 points while the visitors are 4th with 47 points. Alaves are ten points above the bottom-three which is enough buffer to be confident about beating the drop. Recent form has been very impressive for the hosts who have won ten points from their last four league games. That included three wins in a row, with the last two seeing them keep clean sheets. They even won their latest home league game, which made it three wins out of their last five La Liga matches at this venue.

Barcelona are coming off a 1-0 win over Osasuna which gave them a five-point buffer over fifth-placed Athletic Club. They are still in the race to finish third, although the title now looks well out of their reach with Girona eight points ahead. The Catalans need to find some momentum though, as they have lost three of their last six competitive matches. The visitors also need to be aware of their drop in standards in La Liga where Barcelona have failed to win four of their last nine league games. Despite those poor numbers, they have been a tough side to face on the road, as Barcelona are as yet unbeaten in their ten away league games this season.
