Alaves vs Barcelona.

In this match, Flick will certainly target his team to get full points over the home team, because currently Madrid is equal to Barcelona's points. After playing a bad match in week 8, this week Barca will focus on getting points at the Alaves team's headquarters. In the home team's camp, Alaves must definitely work hard to be able to match Barcelona's game. Although it is difficult to defeat Barca, at least a draw is the focus of the home team. But if we refer to the H2H meeting between the two teams, Barcelona always dominates the victory over Alaves. Moreover, Barcelona is the team that is favored compared to the home team. It seems that this match will produce many goals either from Barcelona or the home team who might be able to break through Inaki Pena's goal. Barca has odds @1.66, for me it is not ideal for single bets. The handicap option can be an alternative with -1 @2.03 Barcelona. If Barca is only able to score one goal, then the bet gets nothing. So, Barca must score at least 2 goals in this match.

I think the match between Alaves and Barcelona will be very interesting. Barcelona is, of course, the clear favorite, as they are in most La Liga games, especially given their current form.

Alaves sits 11th in the table with three wins, one draw, and four losses. They’ve scored 11 goals and conceded 12 — a typical mid-table side. Even if they win, the highest they could climb is 8th place, though that seems unlikely.
Barcelona is currently leading the league, level on points with Real Madrid but with a game in hand. A win here would make them the outright leaders. Historically, Barcelona dominates this matchup, with four wins and one draw in their last five meetings with Alaves.

My prediction: Barcelona will win comfortably and score multiple goals.
