Barcelona will be aiming to make it successive victories in Spain's top flight when they host Alaves on Sunday afternoon.
The Catalan outfit recorded a 7-1 win over Valencia in the league last weekend, but they are currently down in third spot in the La Liga table, seven points behind the leaders and reigning champions Real Madrid.
Hansi Flick's side were also in Champions League action during the week, drawing 2-2 with Atalanta BC in their final match in the league phase of the competition, and they claimed second spot in the Champions League table behind Liverpool.
Barcelona are under pressure to keep winning in La Liga due to their recent struggles, though, and it would be a huge setback if they were unable to navigate their way past Alaves.
The visitors will enter this match off the back of a 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo, and they are currently 17th in Spain's top flight, just one point ahead of the relegation zone.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides ahead of their contest on Sunday afternoon.
