Current Form and Team News
FC Barcelona: The Champions' Victory Lap
Hansi Flick’s men are currently on an 11-game winning streak. Fresh off a 2-0 win against Real Madrid at the Spotify Camp Nou, the atmosphere in the locker room is celebratory. However, Flick is known for his relentless pursuit of records. Barcelona has scored 91 goals this season, and with three games remaining, they are chasing the century mark.
Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1):
Joan Garcia; Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo, Alejandro Balde; Pedri, Frenkie de Jong; Fermin Lopez, Gavi, Marcus Rashford; Robert Lewandowski.
Deportivo Alaves: The Fight for Survival
Sitting in 19th place with 37 points, Alaves is in a desperate scramble to avoid the drop. Their recent 1-1 draw against Elche showed resilience, but they have only won one of their last five matches. Quique Sanchez Flores will likely set up a low block to frustrate the champions and rely on the counter-attacking pace of Toni Martinez and Lucas Boye.
