Barcelona will look to close the gap on La Liga leaders Real Madrid when they host struggling Alaves at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in a crucial match.

Barcelona, coming off a 7-1 win over Valencia, have only won twice in their last nine league games and are falling behind Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. With both teams playing on Saturday, Barcelona could be 10 points off the top by the time they take the field, making this match crucial.

Alaves, currently 17th in La Liga, have struggled this season but are unbeaten in their last three away games and have picked up four points from their last two matches. Despite a four-game losing streak against Barcelona, including a 3-0 loss earlier this season, they’ll be fresh after having more rest than Barcelona, who played in the Champions League midweek.
