Betting tips for Barcelona vs Alaves 18.08.2018

The champion debuted in the Santander League 2018-19, receiving the Nou Camp at Deportivo Alavés from the former culé Abelardo.

FC Barcelona has been one of the teams that has moved the most on the market this summer despite coming from winning the double. His ridiculous Champions League, one more season, has made the Catalans go to the summer market as if there was no tomorrow, signing the Brazilians Arthur and Malcom, the Chilean Arturo Vidal and the French center, former Sevilla, Clément Lenglet. In total, 126 million euros spent exclusively for one purpose: to end the European reign of Real Madrid.

To compensate this disbursement, the Catalan team has obtained something less than 75 million with the sales of Yerry Mina and Digne al Everton; the one from Deulofeu to Watford; that of Aleix Vidal to Sevilla; and the transfer of the Portuguese André Gomes to some Toffees that have become a Barça branch in England.

The team did not have a good preseason, losing two of the three games that played in the International Champions Cup and winning the other on penalties. However, the team won the first official title of the season, the Spanish Supercup against Sevilla in Tangier (2-1) and thrashed Boca Juniors in the official presentation of the team to their fans, in the traditional Joan Gamper Trophy .

The game is lost by Sergi Roberto, while Denis Suárez is doubtful.



laliga santander Deportivo Alavés will once again trust Abelardo after the huge comeback that the babazorros starred after a terrible start to the season. The arrival of the gijonés to the bench of Mendizorroza not only saved the season to the vitorianos, if not that the glorious one ended up being one of the best equipment since Abelardo arrived.

The definitive purchase of the Swedish John Guidetti is the only operation that has entailed an economic outlay (4 million euros), while Jony (from Málaga) and Borja Bastón (Swansea) will be important players despite being on loan. The Serbian Aleksandar Katai (who goes to the Chicago Fire of the MLS), the center Alexis (to Saudi Arabia) and the Venezuelan Christian Santos (who left for Deportivo de La Coruña) leave with the freedom card, while the transferred (Hernán Pérez, Bojan Krkic, Tomás Pina, Munir, Medrán ...) return to their clubs of origin.

Alavés has played eight friendlies, tying without goals against Real Sociedad, losing on penalties against Logroñés, drawing in Leganés, losing to Numancia, beating Valladolid, Oviedo and Real Sociedad, and falling last weekend before the SD Huesca. They lost the game the injured Rodrigo Ely and the suspended Adrián Diéguez.



In the last 6 duels, Barça have won 5 but the babazorros won in the Nou Camp at the start of the season 16-17. Even so, the forecast is that the Basques will not lose by more than two goals difference.
