Barcelona vs Alaves Preview

FC Barcelona will be looking to continue their winning streak when they host Deportivo Alaves on November 12, 2023, at the Camp Nou in La Liga.

Barcelona have won their last five league games and are currently second in the table, two points behind leaders Real Madrid. Alaves, on the other hand, are struggling at the bottom of the table, having won just two of their first 12 games.

Barcelona will be the clear favorites for this match, but Alaves will be looking to cause an upset. The Basque side have already beaten Real Madrid this season, and they will be hoping to do the same to Barcelona.

Barcelona manager Xavi is expected to make a few changes to his side from the team that beat Villarreal in their last game.
