Alaves vs Barcelona
LaLiga 2018-19
Venue: Mendizorrotza Stadium
Date: Tuesday, April 23, 2019
Kick-off: 8:30pm GMT
Barcelona can take another step closer to the La Liga title on Tuesday away to Alaves.
A late winner from Jordi Alba moved Ernesto Valverde’s side to within six points of another Spanish title on Saturday.
A treble remains a possibility with Barcelona out to claim a fifth consecutive Copa del Rey against Valencia next month with meetings with Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals also on the horizon.
Alaves are comfortably mid-table with five games of the season remaining.
Barcelona team news and predicted line-up
A home tie against Levante at the weekend will present Valverde with a chance to rest key players ahead of the visit of Liverpool next Wednesday.
Long-term absentee Rafinha is still recovering from knee surgery.
Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen, Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur, Messi, Suarez, Dembele
Score prediction: Alaves 0-3 Barcelona
Barcelona will still be on a high after reaching the Champions League semis for the first time since 2015 and are now just two wins away from retaining their Spanish crown.
Given Valverde is likely to have the option of fielding a full-strength side again, it is difficult to look past an away win.
