FC Barcelona visits the Alavès pitch as part of the 23rd day of La Liga. The Catalan club occupies 4th place in the championship, 10 points behind leader Girona. A victory is once again imperative to maintain some semblance of contact with the leading duo. Opposite, Alavès is in 11th place but remains on a good series of three consecutive victories in the championship. This meeting can be followed live with commentary on the French Football Weekly website.
In terms of team compositions, Xavi relies on continuity. We find exactly the same eleven as against Osasuna with the exception of Christensen who numerically replaces Ferran Torres. The Dane should also take his place in midfield and Pedri slide into the left winger position. For his part, Luis Garcia Plaza trusts his 4-3-3. Scorer in the first leg (2-1 for Barça), Omorodion starts at center forward.
