Verdict

BT4Y analyst view

BT4Y analyst view: Alaves Win is the preferred angle because the good news for Alaves is that they have recently shown they can make life uncomfortable for elite opponents on home soil. Barcelona have the stronger recent points return, taking 15 points from the sample compared with 5 for Alaves. That is a dramatic slowdown for a side known for attacking football, but it is not necessarily a weakness.
