THE PREDICTION
Ronald Koeman’s strange reign of underachievement has reached a point where a reasonable run of form is now being viewed in a better light than it should be. Barca deserve credit for some mental resilience for this up-turn in form in 2021; however, they’ve still missed out on silverware in the Supercopa whilst losing the first leg of their cup semi-final. Their league form has been saved by the magic of Messi in several games; Granada away, Betis away, Athletic home and away are all wins that without the contribution of their star would be very different. They come up against an Alaves side who have recovered from a severe January slump with back-to-back clean sheets against Getafe and Real Valladolid; they have collected four out of six points. Barcelona, though, will anticipate a reaction and they should beat the away team fairly comfortably.
