Barcelona is set to face Deportivo Alaves at Estadio Olimpico, following a 1-0 win at Real Sociedad. Despite their recent lackluster performance, they are considered favorites to win the match. Robert Lewandowski and his team will need to prove their worth on the field. Pedri and Raphinha are expected to start, while Gavi is banned. Sergi Roberto and Frenkie de Jong are also missing due to injuries.

The Basques bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid, beating Almeria with Aleksandar Sedlar’s goal. Alaves, struggling on travels, are unlikely to claim a major scalp on Matchday 13. Giuliano Simeone and Carlos Benavidez are the only absentees in the visiting team.

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernández will not be playing Sergi Roberto and Frenkie de Jong due to muscle injuries and ankle sprains, while Gavi is suspended. Barça is likely to use a 4-3-3 system, starting with M. ter Stegen, Joao Cancelo, Jules Kounde, Inigo Martinez, Alex Balde, and Ilkay Gundogan.

Alaves manager Luis García Plaza has a fully healthy group for the upcoming match against Babazorros. Babazorros may use a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Antonio Sivera, Andoni Gorosabel, Abdelkabir Abqar, Rafa Marin, Ruben Duarte, Ander Guevara, Antonio Blanco, Alex Sola, Jon Guridi, Luis Rioja, and Samuel Omorodion out.
