The 2025-26 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Deportivo Alaves lock horns with Hansi Flick's Barcelona side in an important encounter at the Spotify Camp Nou on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes over the past year and will want to win this game.
Barcelona vs Deportivo Alaves Preview
Deportivo Alaves are in 14th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 1-0 defeat at the hands of Celta Vigo last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table and have been fairly impressive this season. The Catalan giants suffered a 3-0 defeat against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
