Barcelona form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (41) in La Liga, on their La Liga travels is 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. In general it has been a productive period now for Barcelona as they haven't lost any of their last ten games. A great winning streak in away games for Barcelona as they have managed to win five matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Cadiz have they travelled home without three points.
It's the second away game in a row for Barcelona, but there's smiles all around after the 5-3 victory versus Granada (after extra-time) (placed 8th) in the Copa Del Rey last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Athletic Club in the La Liga.
What a finish in the last match, as Barcelona came back from being down 0-2 and secured a very satisfying victory through Jordi Alba's goal in the 113rd minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against Granada (after extra-time) was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today? The 5-3 victory against Granada (after extra-time) could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times.
Barcelona are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 18 times in 10 away games so far. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Barcelona are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 10 matches.
