On January 23, the match of the 22nd round of the Spanish La Liga will take place, in which the Basque "Alaves" will play at home with the Catalan "Barcelona". The forecast for this match is given by the famous former midfielder of Celta and the Russian national team, Alexander Mostovoy.
In the first round match between these rivals, a draw was recorded, which came as a surprise to many. But subsequently, the results of "Alaves" began to deteriorate seriously, and as a result they reached the point that they fell into the relegation zone, from which it would be quite difficult to get out. The Basque attack looks especially weak, which gives less goals on average per game.
Barcelona is also having its worst season in years, and is struggling to cling to the Champions League zone, being outside the top four so far. Also, the Catalans managed to fly out of the Super Cup and the Spanish Cup the other day. The only chance for a trophy for Xavi's team remains only in the Europa League.
"Barcelona" has completely weaned this season from expecting a confident victory from it. So in the upcoming match in the Basque Country, Alexander Mostovoy is waiting for a nervous duel, in which he does not rule out a draw, but still expects that guests will be closer to victory.
