Alaves – Barcelona

Alavés host Barcelona in what promises to be a decisive clash at the Mendizorrotza, with the home side sitting third on ten points after three wins, one draw and one loss, and a modest 11‑5 goal tally. Barcelona arrive as league leaders, unbeaten in five matches, boasting fifteen points and a commanding 21‑4 goal difference. The Catalans will look to extend their perfect run, while Alavés will hope their recent form can bridge the gap and keep their title hopes alive. A win for either side could reshape the top of the table as the season reaches its critical stage.
