La Liga
Alavés vs Barcelona
16:00 ET
The Basque team has joined the First Division for five seasons after its promotion in the summer of 2016 by José Bordalás. Throughout all these campaigns in La Liga, Mendizorroza has been the main architect of the glorious permanence in the highest category. But this season, the Vitoria stadium is not turning out to be a fort.
The balance of the albiazules is not very positive. Of the seven season games they have played, four have been at home, and their balance is two defeats, one draw and one victory. Improving their records in Mendizorroza is essential to meet the objective of this season, which is none other than permanence.
Today he receives Barcelona, a very uncomfortable visitor even though he is not starring in a good start to the course. The last victory of the Gasteiz team against Barça in Vitoria dates from the 2001/2002 season, with goals from Carlos Llorens on penalties and Ibon Begoña. The score was 2-0. From there, only two draws, 0-0, in the 2002/2003 and 2005/2006 campaigns to later leave 6 wins in a row for the team currently trained by Ronald Koeman.
