Barcelona Deportivo Alavés betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Unsurprisingly, Barcelona should be looking for attacks from the first minute, trying their best to get back on track in the Spanish league. On the other hand, Deportivo Alavés should only act in the counterattack, the same as in previous games. However, this game has this tendency to end with a home club's win, making the odds worthless. Given the offensive style of Barcelona and Alavés' weak defensive sector, we believe that betting in favor of the home team's goals is of great value.
