My gut tells me over but I cant pull the trigger. 4 goals is a lot for any game. I know that FC Barcelona can score, and CD Alaves suck, but I can hella see a 3-0 Barcelona win.

Any insight/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys an BOL to all

I checked scoring for Alaves in their segunda group B. They don't score much. In 10 games they've scored 11 goals and allowed 4. I guess they score and then, how does the expression go, "park the bus."

But I'm sure Barca will play their backups for this match. Does anyone know the starting lineups?

I'm leaning Alaves +2.5. Home game, Barca isn't playing for much. And Alaves seems to show some defensive skills. But who knows. They might suck so badly, that the Barca ballboys could beat them.

Yeah im in the same position.. I'm trying to see the lineup for barcelona. Looks like messi is not in.. Last time when barcelonas backups were in, i played the spread for the opposite team and barcelona still covered.. So I think i will stay away from this one but waiting for the lineup

Something is telling me alaves will net one in by the line movements but still hard to pull the trigger. Now i'm tinking -2

Any Barca B side is gonna be ridiculously more talented than deportivo's side... Sure they will be motivated but that almost will play against them as Barca's style of plays eats agrssiveness for break fast...

this is the starting lineup for Barca

Pinto
Montoya, Bartra, Song, Adriano
Dos Santos, Busquets, Espinosa
Tello, Villa, Sanchez

Tello and Espinosa are future stars IMO... take that for what its worth...

I'm going with the -2 here.. I wouldn't risk the under because you never know how many goals your'e going to expect from Barcelona.. I just can't see this game being close... Alaves is sitting on top of the Segundo B division but Barcelonas lineup is pretty legit.

-2 @-130

GOOD LUCK
