This will be the 20th match between these teams since 1999. Barcelona has a commanding lead in their previous meetings, with 13 wins and only four losses.
-
Los Blaugranas were shocked by Alavés during the third match of last season, as the team from Vitoria beat them at Camp Nou 2-1. Barcelona would have their payback by beating them 6-0 in their most recent La Liga clash, played at tomorrow's venue.
-
Alavés' most recent victory against Barcelona as hosts goes back to December 2001, when they defeated Los Culés 2-0.
-
These teams played against each other to determine the winner of last season's Copa del Rey. The team then-coached by Luis Enrique won that tie with a 3-1 score.
Team news
Alavés' coach Luis Zubeldía won't have more injury concerns than last week, as the only unavailable player will be Victor Laguardia. Their disappointing loss against Leganés forces Los Albiazules to win some points if they want to keep themselves away from relegation spots.
Errnesto Valverde will also have a couple of absences, as Luis Suárez and Rafinha will have to sit this one out through injury. The good news for Los Blaugranas will be provided by Gerard Piqué and Andrés Iniesta, who set the house on fire by admitting this could be his last season with the Catalan giants.
