Barcelona hosts Alaves in round 18 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, December 21st at Camp Nou (Barcelona)
Barcelona played a goalless draw with a Real Madrid in the last match (this round was postponed for several reasons and was supposed to be played back in October). The match, which was expected to become a goal show, turned out to be very suspicious. By the way, the goal of Real Madrid was canceled because of offside, which VAR saw. And the game was so-so. But this is a topic for another conversation. As for the upcoming match, there is no doubt that Barcelona will win. There are a lot of reasons for it, and I will talk about them a little lower. I can add that Barcelona won in 11 out of 17 rounds of the championship. And a draw against Real in the last match was the first in its eight games at the Camp Nou this season. Barcelona won the previous seven home games. And six of them were won with the proposed outcome.

Alaves earned only one point in the last three rounds. It was scratched out in the home game with Leganes, which is penultimate in the standings. Alaves has already slipped to 14th place, and most likely, it will fall even lower after this match. There are no chances to score points in Barcelona.
Barcelona beat Alaves in the last seven matches in a row. It will win the eighth one either. The question is in what form. However, what questions can be asked? After a boring game with Real Madrid (I’m still angry for wasting time to watch that match), Barcelona will not go easy on such a convenient opponent, and its execution will begin already in the first half of the game. By the way, Barca won against Alaves in nine of the last ten home meetings. Besides, Alaves lost six out of eight away games in the current championship. And it was losing already in the first half in five of them. The same will repeat in Barcelona. I won’t even write about all the advantages of Barcelona over an opponent. The Catalan team is much stronger, and it will prove this already in the first half.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win the first half and the match
