Barça: Vitoria and the goal to win again

This Sunday Barcelona will play the ninth round of the League. And they do so during a difficult visit against Alaves in Mendizorroza (16:15) with the aim of collecting three points again.

Because Hansi Flick’s side want to turn the page on their defeat to Osasuna last weekend and get back on track to winning the league before the international break.

Opposite there will be an opponent who will not have it easy, who is becoming stronger at home and is currently in the middle of the table. With 10 points, after 3 wins (two at home), 1 draw and 4 defeats, Luis García Plaza’s team will want to please their fans.

Moreover, since 2001 the Vitorian team has not won a home victory over Barça. Since then, 3 draws and 6 wins in favor of the cules, the last one last season with a score of 1-3 with goals from Lewandowski, Gundogan and Vitor Roque.
