ALA vs BAR Prediction, Team News, Injury Report, Starting Lineups

A) Deportivo Alaves Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Deportivo Alaves have just two confirmed absentees in Pons Riera Pere and Rodrigo Ely who will miss out on the Barcelona game.

Doubtful starters: Pablo Machin does not have any doubtful players for this game.

Expected changes: Deportivo Alaves pulled off a great result away to Real Valladolid and Machin is unlikely to change anything to that squad. The backline of Duarte, Lejeune, Laguardia and Navarro should remain the same. Joselu and Lucas Perez are expected to lead the line in attack. Machin might go for a tactical change and move to a back 5 to accommodate the Barcelona attack, but with the same names on the teamsheet.

ALA Playing 11 (probable):

Fernando Pacheco (GK)

Ximo Navarro

Victor Laguardia

Florian Lejeune

Ruben Duarte

Edgar Mendez

Tomas Pina

Rodrigo Andres Battaglia

Jota

Lucas Perez

Joselu

B) Barcelona Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Barcelona continues to be without the services of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Philippe Coutinho and Samuel Umtiti who will all miss out with injuries. Youngster, Ronald Araujo, picked up an injury during their midweek tie against Juventus and will miss out on the ALA vs BAR Dream11 Prediction fixture.

Doubtful: Ronald Koeman has no doubtful players ahead of this fixture.

Expected changes: Pedro Neto will continue to deputize in goal while ter Stegen is out injured. Gerard Pique should be back in the lineup after Ronald Araujo picked up an injury. Miralem Pjanic is likely to sit this game out, making way for a Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong double pivot. Griezmann has had a very poor start to his Barcelona career and was embarrassingly dropped from the squad and may get a chance to prove himself against Alaves. Ousmane Dembele will look to keep his spot after scoring against Juventus.

BAR Playing 11 (probable):

Pedro Neto (GK)

Sergino Dest

Gerard Pique

Clement Lenglet

Jordi Alba

Sergio Busquets

Frenkie de Jong

Ousmane Dembele

Lionel Messi

Ansu Fati

Antoine Griezmann

ALA vs BAR Today Match Prediction Football Match 

Barcelona is the clear favourites to win this game with Bet365 and Coral offering odds of 1.40 and 1.44 for a Barca win respectively in ALA vs BAR Today Match Prediction. They have also both placed a Deportivo win at an unlikely 7.50. The Cules have not dropped any points against Alaves in their recent history and have always won consistently scoring 11 goals in their last 3 fixtures, conceding just once. Deportivo has beaten Barcelona just once in their history and is unlikely to emulate that in this week’s game. It should be a smooth victory for the Blaugrana as they look to take back their La Liga title from Real Madrid.
