Barcelona is closing in on a repeat La Liga title as they enter the homestretch of the season, finding themselves 9 points up with five matches remaining. Barca takes their title ambitions on the road to Deportivo Alavés, a team in the midst of a poor run of form who could help Messi and co. take another step towards the title.

Thanks to a hard-fought victory over Real Sociedad last weekend, Barça now need just six points from their final five games to be champions, and with two matches to play this week they could celebrate the title on Saturday if they take care of business against a very solid Alavés team.
They have been one of the biggest surprises in La Liga this season, fighting for a spot in the Europa League throughout the campaign and playing some really good football over the last few months. Alavés will probably finish around 8th or 9th place, which is fantastic for them, and a win against Barça would be a perfect way to boost their confidence and finish the season on a high.
For Barça, it’s all about the three points. Clinching the title before the Champions League semifinal is the biggest goal for this team, and beating Alavés is a big step to accomplish that.
