Spanish La Liga, 18th round. Barcelona arrive somewhat unexpectedly after two consecutive draws (against Real Sociedad and Real Madrid). Precious points were dropped and the team now shares the first place in the standings with Real Madrid with 36 points. Meanwhile, Alaves, with 19 points, is now in 14th place and has not been playing well, especially lately.
Barcelona is not having an easy season so far. Despite finishing first in the league and first in the Champions League, the team has struggled to win games time after time. This is also reflected in the draws suffered in the last rounds. With the Champions League break now over and the Christmas break in La Liga also starting after the next game against Alaves, it's time to give it your all for this game. Another important factor is that the game is being played at Barcelona's stronghold Camp Nou, so we have no doubt that the team will want to make their fans happy before Christmas. The hosts have a really good attack this season, scoring 43 goals in 17 games, but there are holes in the defence and the team has conceded 20 goals already. At home, Barca look even better and have scored 30 goals in 8 meetings. The situation is completely different for Alaves. The team has a lot of problems in attack, especially away from home. They have conceded 19 goals in 8 matches and scored only 7. Given this information, we predict that Barcelona's defence will have an easier match and the attack will be able to play its best. Arthur and Dembele will miss the game for Barca and Pina will miss the game for Alaves, so there are no new injuries for either team.
So, Spanish La Liga, the last round before the Christmas break. We believe that Barcelona will delight their fans in this match and achieve a convincing victory. Alaves don't look like they can cause big problems for Barca's defence or be dangerous in attack. Here we predict a Barcelona victory by at least three goals. Good luck and have a good match.
