Team News

Deportivo Alaves
Barcelona
  • Abdel Aqbar will be back for selection following Morocco's shock AFCON exit at the hands of South Africa.
  • Andoni Gorosabel is suspended for this one following an accumulation of yellow cards and will sit out.
  • Carlos Vicente, signed from Racing Ferrol in the Segunda division, seems now a mainstay in the Alaves eleven, picking up an assist against Almeria on Friday.
  • Joao Felix has suffered an ankle injury and will be unavailable until late February.
  • Depending on the Rayo match, Vitor Roque could be in contention for his full debut in La Liga.
  • Inigo Martinez is back in training and could feature in the side by this weekend.

Prediction

  • Barcelona travel to Alaves after hosting Osasuna on Wednesday evening. Alaves have found another purple patch, and look to be all but safe in their returning season to La Liga, having won four of their last five matches.
  • Barcelona are in limbo at the moment, losing three in the last five and are now searching for a suitable replacement for Xavi when the time comes in the summer.
  • Concerning Alaves' fine form at the moment and Barca's string of injuries and lack of morale, a draw could be on the cards here.
