Match Analysis

Sevilla enters this match amidst a challenging period, having suffered three consecutive defeats. Their losses against Valencia, Ath Madrid, and Betis, albeit narrow, reflect a struggle in both offensive and defensive departments. With an average of just 0.8 goals scored and 1.8 goals conceded per game over the last five matches, Sevilla's form suggests vulnerabilities, especially in defense. Despite their efforts, they've managed only one clean sheet in recent outings, indicating an area that requires bolstered focus. Alaves, meanwhile, have shown a mixed bag of results. They recently celebrated a victory against Girona but faced defeats against heavyweights Real Madrid and Vallecano. Alaves are averaging 1.4 goals scored and conceded in their last five games, indicating a relatively balanced performance. Their ability to keep two clean sheets in recent fixtures suggests a defensive resilience that could be pivotal against Sevilla.

Final Prediction

Sevilla is expected to have an edge in this encounter, primarily due to their home-ground advantage and the slightly higher probability of success. While both teams have shown defensive frailties, Sevilla's need to bounce back from a losing streak could fuel their drive. A key factor to watch will be Sevilla's ability to capitalize on their expected goals, which have been slightly underwhelming in recent matches.
