From the source
Following a painful loss to Real Madrid in El Clásico last weekend to end their perfect start to the La Liga season, Barcelona look to return to winning ways when they welcome Deportivo Alavés to the Greatest Stadium on Earth on Saturday Night Fútbol.
Barça need to bounce back after two tough defeats to PSG and Real Madrid, and three points this weekend are a must ahead of another brutal week of games against Aston Villa in the Champions League and Atlético Madrid in the league.
This weekend’s visitors are comfortable in mid-table and have been very good defensively so far, with a strong structure in their 5-3-2 system and tons of physicality in midfield, and they’re also a threat on set pieces and counter-attacks.
