Deportivo Alaves vs Barcelona Lineups, Predictions, Score, Live Streaming and Where to Watch on TV
La Liga is reaching its final stage, with FC Barcelona already crowned champions after defeating Real Madrid CF at home, at Spotify Camp Nou.
Even though the Spanish competition is already over for the Culés, their rival cannot say the same, as they find themselves in a very complicated position in the standings.
Alavés currently sits in 19th place in La Liga, which would result in relegation to the second division.
To avoid that, the home side must win all of its remaining matches and hope for favorable results elsewhere, as it is two points behind RCD Espanyol, which is currently outside the relegation zone.
For this match, Barcelona will be without Lamine Yamal and Andreas Christensen, both sidelined with injuries, and Raphinha, who is suspended following a red card.
On the other hand, Alaves will be without Lucas Boyé, sidelined with an injury. Although he is injured, Martinez is in doubt for this game.
Expected Lineups for Alaves and FC Barcelona
Alaves:
- Goalkeeper: Sivera
- Defenders: Pérez, Otto, Tenaglia, Parada, Rebbach

Alaves vs. FC Barcelona Predictions
There is not much to say about this match when, on one side, you have a machine like the Culés, where even the rotational squad could compete against almost any starting lineup from another team.
The Babazorros cannot relax, because Robert Lewandowski and López are fighting for a starting spot.
Although Barcelona is superior offensively and defensively, the team still leaves a lot to be desired, especially in the full-back areas. That is where the home side must take advantage to hurt the team managed by Hansi Flick.
Deportivo Alavés must capitalize on every opportunity to trouble the visitors, as Barcelona are ruthless when punishing mistakes and will be determined to widen the gap over their closest challenger, Real Madrid.
Prediction: Alaves 0-2 FC Barcelona
