Alaves vs Barcelona Match Preview

Match Context

Alaves host Barcelona at Estadio Mendizorrotza on 13 May 2026 in La Liga, Regular Season - 36. Alaves arrive in 18th place on 37 points with a goal difference of -13, while leaders Barcelona sit 1st with 91 points and a +60 goal difference.

Alaves Availability

Alaves have two concerns. F. Garces (Suspended) is sidelined, weakening defensive depth on the right side of the back line. L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful; with 11 league goals and 1 assist, his status is pivotal for a relegation-threatened side that has scored 41 times overall. Toni Martínez, on 12 goals and 3 assists, is available and will likely shoulder extra attacking responsibility if Boye does not make it.

Barcelona Availability

Barcelona travel without three notable names. A. Christensen (Knee Injury) is sidelined, trimming options in central defense. Lamine Yamal (Thigh Injury) is sidelined and represents a major blow: he has produced 16 goals and 11 assists, leading La Liga in assists. Raphinha (Yellow Cards) is sidelined through suspension after accumulating bookings, removing an 11-goal, 3-assist threat from the right flank.

Impact Summary

Alaves risk losing 11 of their 41 goals if Boye does not feature, while Barcelona are definitely without 27 league goals and 14 assists from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, although they still retain high-output forwards such as Ferran Torres and R. Lewandowski.
