Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Alaves is 6.74, compared to 6.98 for Barcelona. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Alaves's highest-rated starter is T. Martinez (6.98), while Barcelona's best-rated player is A. Cortes (7.70).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Alaves have contributed 21 goals and 17 assists this season, led by T. Martinez (12G). Barcelona's starters account for 33 goals and 25 assists, spearheaded by R. Lewandowski (13G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Alaves deploy 5 defenders rated 6.71 on average, against Barcelona's 4-man backline averaging 7.15. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Alaves field 3 midfielders averaging 6.69, versus Barcelona's 5 rated 6.84. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Alaves start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.79, compared to 1 for Barcelona averaging 6.78. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 73% for Alaves and 88% for Barcelona. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Alaves's starters have collected 42 yellow cards this season, compared to 21 for Barcelona. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Alaves's starting XI is 26.7 (youngest: A. Perez (23), oldest: D. Suarez (31)), while Barcelona average 24.9 (youngest: P. Cubarsi (18), oldest: R. Lewandowski (37)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Alaves's starters average 25 league appearances each, versus 22 for Barcelona. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
