As a team wounded from their El Clasico defeat against Real Madrid last time out, Barcelona will look to re-enter the La Liga winning column when they take on Alaves at home this Saturday.

 

Despite noting a 2-1 loss against Real Madrid on home soil during matchday 10, Barcelona remain as the pole sitters in La Liga with 27 points, two points adrift of second-placed Atletico Madrid.

 

In turn, Barcelona saw their nine-match La Liga winning streak come to an abrupt end as they suffered their first league defeat of the season at the hands of their arch enemies.

 

Alaves will likewise look to get back to winning ways this weekend after going on a six-match winless run in seventh position.

 

Following a 1-1 draw at home to Malaga in their latest La Liga tie, Alaves took their tally to 12 points in La Liga while they recorded four draws and two losses in their last six matches.

 

Alaves last tasted victory on 6 September after recording an emphatic 5-2 win over Osasuna at home.

In assessment of Barcelona’s loss to Real Madrid, Hansi Flick revealed that his side lacked ‘freshness’ and that the Catalan side were unable to follow through on the final details of their game play.

 

“We’re disappointed because we lacked freshness,” Flick said.

“It’s our first defeat in La Liga after nine consecutive wins, but these things happen. In big games, the details are very important, and today they didn’t go our way.

“Defeats are part of football. We have to analyse what happened, do things better, and that’s what we’ll do.”

 

Head-to-head:

Games: 25

Barcelona wins: 20

Alaves wins: 2

Draws: 3
