FC Barcelona vs. Alavés: Official Team Lineups Revealed

This Saturday afternoon, Barcelona aims to bounce back. Currently on a positive streak in La Liga with three consecutive victories, the Blaugranas sit second, trailing Real Madrid by just a point. However, they suffered a setback this week, losing 3-0 to Chelsea in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge. Hansi Flick’s team needs to find their winning form again against Deportivo Alavés, who are struggling in fourteenth place, having secured just one win in their last five matches, including two straight losses. The match will be broadcast live with commentary starting at 4:15 PM IST on Footem.in.

For this match, Hansi Flick will be without Araujo, De Jong, Fermin, Gavi, and Ter Stegen. He has opted for a 4-3-3 formation, starting Joan Garcia in goal. The defense includes Eric Garcia, Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, and Baldé. Casado and Bernal will play in midfield, while Dani Olmo moves up a step. Raphinha and Yamal join Lewandowski in attack, marking the first time this trio has played together since May 25. On the other side, Eduardo Coudet cannot count on the suspended Garces and chooses a 4-1-4-1 formation with Sivera in goal. Otto, Tenaglia, Pacheco, and Parada make up the backline. Blanco will act as the defensive midfielder, while Calebe, Suarez, Ibanez, and Rebbach support Boye, who is the sole striker.
