Barcelona welcome Alaves to Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on October 31st, 2026, with the Catalans in formidable league form. Xavi's side boasts an impressive 26 wins, one draw, and just four losses this season, translating to an 84% win rate, propelled by a recent five-game winning streak. Their attacking prowess is evident with 84 goals scored, though 30 conceded suggests occasional defensive vulnerabilities.
Alaves, conversely, are battling in the lower half of La Liga. Their record of 8 wins, 9 draws, and 14 losses, coupled with a 26% win rate, highlights their struggles. While they recently secured a win, their last five outings also include three draws and a loss, indicating inconsistent performances. Despite Barcelona's dominance, Alaves did snatch a surprise 1-0 victory in their most recent encounter, a result that will undoubtedly be fresh in the hosts' minds. Barcelona will be looking to assert their authority and extend their winning run, while Alaves will hope to replicate their past upset and capitalize on any complacency. This Halloween fixture promises an intriguing clash of form and past results.
