Prediction
Barcelona started off their competitive season earlier in the week with a 2-1 victory over Sevilla in the Spanish Super Cup in Morocco. Since then, they've played their annual Joan Gamper trophy match, giving all of their squad a chance to get some minutes in ahead of the new campaign.
Ernesto Valverde will be under pressure to try and replicate the same kind of La Liga campaign as their last, where the Blaugrana got until the dying stages of the season without tasting defeat. Plenty of top-flight outfits have got stronger this time around, however, and Alaves have picked up three points at Camp Nou within recent memory.
Abelardo turned Alaves' fortunes around in the second half of last season, saving them from relegation in heroic fashion. The former Sporting boss has had a full pre-season to get more of his ideas across, but it will be tough to hit the same heights as last campaign.
