Sevilla – Alaves

Sevilla host Alaves in what promises to be a tightly contested clash in the upper half of the table, with the hosts sitting sixth on 14 points after four wins, two draws and three defeats, and a narrow –2 goal difference (14‑16). Alaves sit just a place below in seventh, having collected 11 points from three victories, two draws and four losses, and they enjoy a slightly better defensive record, conceding only ten goals while scoring 13. The two sides are separated by just three points, and the recent head‑to‑head record suggests a fine margin could decide the three points on offer. Both teams will be eager to improve their positions, as a win could see Sevilla push into the European spots while Alaves aim to close the gap and climb back into contention.
