FC Barcelona arrive with the stronger recent league form, having won all five of their last five in the competition, while Deportivo Alavés have taken just one win from their last five. The head-to-head record also leans clearly towards Barcelona, who have won four of the last five meetings listed, including a 3-1 home win in November 2025. With no xG data available, the most reliable read is that Barcelona’s consistency and Alavés’s mixed results point towards an away-controlled game.
Deportivo Alavés have been involved in higher-scoring matches recently, but they have also conceded four against Athletic Club and three against Real Sociedad, which is a concern against a side like Barcelona. FC Barcelona have been more efficient, with three clean-sheet wins in their last five league matches and Robert Lewandowski leading the line again. Match Prediction: Deportivo Alavés 0-3 FC Barcelona
Form Guide & Team Overview
Deportivo Alavés
Deportivo Alavés come into this match with mixed league form, taking one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw away at Elche, following a 2-4 home loss to Athletic Club and a 2-1 home win over Mallorca.
The earlier results in that run show both goals scored and goals conceded, with a 1-2 defeat at Real Madrid and a 3-3 draw away at Real Sociedad. That pattern suggests Alavés have been competitive in spells, but they have not been able to keep games tight enough to build a stronger run.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Deportivo Alavés (5-3-2)
Predicted lineup: Antonio Sivera (Goalkeeper), Abde Rebbach (Defender), Jonny Otto (Defender), Nahuel Tenaglia (Defender), Victor Parada (Defender), Ángel Pérez (Defender), Antonio Blanco (Midfielder), Jon Guridi (Midfielder), Pablo Ibáñez (Midfielder), Ibrahim Diabaté (Attacker), Toni Martínez (Attacker)
Deportivo Alavés’ predicted 5-3-2 should give them a compact defensive base, with the back five designed to limit space in front of Antonio Sivera. The two forwards, including Ibrahim Diabaté, will need to work hard on transitions if Alavés are to threaten Barcelona at the other end.
FC Barcelona (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Joan García (Goalkeeper), Eric García (Defender), Gerard Martín (Defender), João Cancelo (Defender), Pau Cubarsí (Defender), Dani Olmo (Midfielder), Fermín López (Midfielder), Gavi (Midfielder), Pedri (Midfielder), Roony Bardghji (Midfielder), Robert Lewandowski (Attacker)
FC Barcelona’s predicted 4-2-3-1 gives them a clear structure through midfield, with Dani Olmo and Pedri able to link play behind Robert Lewandowski. The shape should also allow Barcelona to keep pressure high and use the wide and central support around Lewandowski to pin Alavés back.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Deportivo Alavés | FC Barcelona | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Deportivo Alavés | FC Barcelona | Ibrahim Diabaté will need to make his runs count against Eric García if Alavés are to create any meaningful openings. |
| Deportivo Alavés | FC Barcelona | Antonio Blanco’s job against Dani Olmo is to slow Barcelona’s rhythm and stop them settling in midfield. |
| Deportivo Alavés | FC Barcelona | Ibrahim Diabaté is key for Deportivo Alavés because he is one of the main attacking outlets in their predicted shape. |
| Deportivo Alavés | FC Barcelona | Robert Lewandowski is key for FC Barcelona because he is the main finishing option at the top of their 4-2-3-1. |
