Alaves vs Barcelona: Match Preview and Availability Update

The La Liga clash at Estadio Mendizorrotza in Vitoria-Gasteiz is scheduled for 2026-05-13 at 19:30 UTC. Alaves enter the Regular Season - 36 round in 18th place on 37 points (goal difference -13), fighting relegation. Barcelona arrive as league leaders, sitting 1st with 91 points and a +60 goal difference, already assured of Champions League qualification.

Alaves Availability

Alaves face both suspension and injury concerns. F. Garces (Suspension) is sidelined. L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. Boye has been a key attacking figure with 11 goals and 1 assist, forming a strong partnership with Toni Martínez (12 goals, 3 assists), so his status is a potential major blow to their survival push.

Barcelona Availability

Barcelona will travel without several important names. A. Christensen (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Lamine Yamal (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. Raphinha (Yellow Cards) is sidelined. Lamine Yamal’s absence is a major blow: he has delivered 16 goals and 11 assists, leading the league in assists. Raphinha also contributes heavily with 11 goals and 3 assists.

Impact Summary

Alaves risk losing 11 of their 41 league goals if Boye does not feature, significantly reducing their attacking threat. Barcelona, meanwhile, are deprived of 27 league goals and 14 assists combined from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, but still retain prolific options like Ferran Torres (16 goals) and R. Lewandowski (13 goals).
