The FC Barcelona will initiate the defence of the title against of the Sportive Alavés, that will visit the Camp Nou the weekend of the 18-19 August. The past course there was Barcelona plenary in his clashes against the vitorianos, that fell in Mendizorroza by 0-2 and in the City Condal by 2-1.

Although the Catalans split like main favourites for the meeting, fits to remember that they will arrive after some loaded weeks of parties, because they will chain turns it American, the Supercopa of Spain, the Trophy Joan Gamper and the inaugural duel of the competition of the regularity.

An asymmetric calendar for LaLiga 2018-19

Between the novelties for the campaign that is for beginning stands out the configuration of an asymmetric calendar, that is to say, that the parties of the first day of the first turn will not coincide with the ones of the second and like this successively. This, for example, will live with the Alavés, with which the Barça will cross in the day 1 but probably do not coincide in the 20 (the first of the second turn).

This new system finally will not affect to the distribution of the meetings, and will keep the alternations between commitments home and went. The final aim will be to promote the show, influence in the collection with a better programming or give advantages to the clubs, for example choosing better the way for which classify for European championships.
