Matchup Preview: Barcelona Dominates Alaves

In this La Liga clash on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, Barcelona travels to face Alaves. The data presents a stark contrast in form between the two sides. Alaves, the home team, has a Record (L10) of 0-0, scoring 0 PPG and allowing 0 PPG. Their current streak is listed as 0, indicating a lack of recent momentum or data points. Conversely, Barcelona is on fire with a Record (L10) of 8-0, averaging 2.1 PPG while holding opponents to just 0.5 PPG. They are currently on a winning streak of 8 games.

Barcelona's offense is clicking, averaging over two goals per game in their last ten outings. Meanwhile, Alaves has yet to find the back of the net in their last ten games, scoring zero goals. On the defensive end, Barcelona allows only 0.5 goals per game, a significant improvement over Alaves' 0 allowed (though based on a smaller sample size or shutout streak). With no significant injuries reported for either team, the form disparity suggests Barcelona will control the tempo and secure a comfortable victory.

Here is a direct comparison of the key metrics driving this matchup:

Record (L10)	0-0	8-0
PPG	0	2.1
Opp PPG	0	0.5

Defense vs Position Edges

Barcelona's defense is particularly formidable this season. They allow clearances at a rank #5 rate of 3.1 per game to ALLs, and tackles at a rank #5 rate of 2.1818 per game to ALLs. This defensive efficiency complements their high-scoring offense, making them difficult to beat. Alaves, with 0 PPG allowed, has been stingy but lacks the firepower to match Barcelona's output.

Odds Analysis

The consensus odds reflect Barcelona's dominance. The Spread is set at Alaves +0.5, indicating that Barcelona is favored to win by at least one goal. The Total is set at O/U 3.5, suggesting a moderate-scoring game. Given Barcelona's 2.1 PPG and Alaves' 0 PPG, the under might seem appealing, but Barcelona's offensive consistency could push the total over if they dominate possession.

Player Props to Watch

Several Alaves players have points Over/Under lines set at 1.5. These include Sergi Darder, Pablo Maffeo, Omar Mascarell, Mateu Morey, Martin Valjent, Marash Kumbulla, Luis Milla, and Johan Mojica. With Barcelona's defense allowing few clearances and tackles, these defensive players may have fewer opportunities to accumulate points. However, if Alaves sits deep, their defenders might see more action in terms of clearances. Betters should consider the Under on these props if Barcelona controls possession effectively.

Best Bets

• Barcelona -0.5 Spread: With an 8-0 record in their last 10 games and a 2.1 PPG average, Barcelona is well-equipped to cover the +0.5 spread against Alaves.
• Under 3.5 Total: Alaves is averaging 0 PPG in their last 10 games. While Barcelona scores well, Alaves' inability to score suggests a low-scoring affair, especially if Barcelona keeps a clean sheet.
• Sergi Darder Under 1.5 Points: As a defensive player, Darder's points are likely tied to clearances and tackles. With Barcelona allowing only 3.1 clearances per game, Darder may struggle to reach the 1.5 point threshold.

Prediction

Barcelona is the clear favorite in this matchup. Their offensive firepower, combined with a solid defense, gives them the edge against an Alaves team that hasn't scored in their last 10 games. We predict a 3-0 victory for Barcelona.
