Deportivo Alaves vs Barcelona

VITORIA-GASTEIZ, Spain (Interstat) — Barcelona looks to extend its winning streak Wednesday when it visits Deportivo Alaves in a La Liga clash at Mendizorrotza Stadium.

The match, scheduled for May 13, 2026, pits the Catalan giants against a mid-table Alaves side fighting for consistency. Barcelona enters on a four-game winning run, most recently a 2-0 victory over Real Madrid on May 10. That result followed a 2-1 win at Osasuna, a 1-0 shutout of Celta Vigo and a 4-1 thrashing of Espanyol. The only blemish in Barcelona’s last seven matches was a 2-0 loss at Atletico Madrid on April 8.

Deportivo Alaves, meanwhile, has struggled to find form. The hosts played to a 1-1 draw at Elche on May 9, their second consecutive result without a win. Prior to that, Alaves fell 4-2 at home to Athletic Bilbao and lost 2-1 at Real Madrid. Over their last 10 matches, Alaves has just one victory — a 4-3 win at Celta Vigo on March 22 — alongside four draws and five losses. Defensive frailties have been an issue, with the team conceding 11 goals in its last five games.

The head-to-head record favors Barcelona. In the most recent meeting on Nov. 29, 2025, Barcelona defeated Alaves 3-1 at Camp Nou. That result extended Barcelona’s dominance in the series; the Blaugrana have won the last three encounters by a combined score of 10-3.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 3-1 victory for Barcelona, reflecting the visitor’s superior form and attacking depth.

Barcelona’s schedule remains congested. After Wednesday, the team faces Real Betis at home on May 17. Alaves travels to Real Oviedo the same day, a match that could prove critical in their push to avoid the relegation scrap.

Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. local time. Barcelona will be without any major injury suspensions, while Alaves hopes to improve its home record after winning just two of its last six at Mendizorrotza.
