Alaves vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

Barcelona are enjoying an incredible run of success on their top-flight travels, stringing together eight wins on the spin at the highest level of the LaLiga. Alaves, have found the going somewhat harder on their own patch of late, suffering four consecutive defeats in which they have conceded 12 goals.

Alaves have certainly become a more expansive team since the coach picked up the managerial reins, and this is reflected by the fact that 16 of their 18 top-flight home games during past season have produced a minimum of two goals. This has also been the case in 15 of the most recent 20 Barcelona away matches at this level, so expect more of the same here.

When it comes to both scoring and conceding during the same 90 minutes, Barcelona are clearly the experts, with the away outfit now having done so in nine consecutive top-flight matches. Although Alaves cannot quite compete with these numbers, it remains the case that neither goalkeeper has emerged with a clean sheet from seven of their last nine games.
