Last May, Deportivo Alavés beat FC Barcelona 1-0 at home, but this time it's a completely different story, because FC Barcelona are looking to get back on the horse after losing two straight in the league and the Champions League. The hosts are still a team that scores freely in the league, scoring 40 goals in 10 matches, but in the last two games the defense has started to show cracks, while Deportivo Alavés have not won in 5 straight matches, but they haven't been thrashed either, losing by just a single goal in each of their last two games. Their defense is still holding firm. This game will likely see FC Barcelona dominate possession and push forward, while Deportivo Alavés will drop deep and wait to counter. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how quickly FC Barcelona can break down this compact defense. If they find an early goal, the game could open up, but if they get stuck against the defense, it could drag on.
