The match between FC Barcelona and Deportivo Alaves on February 2, 2025, is expected to be largely dominated by the Catalan team. Over the past three years, Barcelona has held a clear advantage in most of their encounters against Alaves, claiming victories both at home and away. Although Alaves deploy an organized defense and a focus on counterattacking, they have been unable to withstand the pressure of Barcelona's quick attacks. Hansi Flick's recent management at Barcelona has strengthened their style of play, while Alaves, under their current coach, Luis Garcia, has sought to be more competitive, but struggles to contain the attacking potency of the big teams.
