Estadio de Mendizorroza in Vitoria-Gasteiz hosts Wednesday evening's most anticipated La Liga fixture, Deportivo Alavés versus FC Barcelona. The context is critical: Alavés are 18th in La Liga, rooted in the relegation zone with 36 points and in a desperate fight for top-flight survival heading into the season's final two rounds. Barcelona are the defending champions and in the driving seat to retain their title. For Alavés, this is one of the campaign's most critical home fixtures.

Luis García Plaza's Alavés arrive at Mendizorroza desperately needing a positive result against the division's champions. Their recent form, which has seen only one win in six games, reflects the inconsistency of a survival-fighting side that cannot maintain the sequences needed to pull decisively clear. Their 4-2 defeat at Athletic Bilbao was a painful setback and the Basque derby context made it especially damaging. At Mendizorroza, where the passionate Vitoria-Gasteiz crowd creates a fierce home atmosphere, Alavés will push their players to the absolute limit against Barcelona.

Hansi Flick's Barcelona arrive at Mendizorroza on the back of their El Classico affair with Real Madrid at the Camp Nou. The Blaugrana have been the standout side this campaign and with title already secured in all but the mathematical formality, Barça nonetheless arrive with the professionalism of a club that demands maximum effort regardless of circumstance. Even with some rotation and injury concerns, this Barcelona side is far too strong for a relegation-threatened Alavés.
Prediction
Barcelona's overwhelming quality and the enormous gap between the champions and a survival-battling Alavés makes the Blaugrana the very clear favourites even at the hostile Mendizorroza.
What are the best odds for the game?
Alavés are given 3.45 odds to win at home, while Barcelona are heavily favoured at 3.85 for the away win. A draw is staged at 2.05 odds.
