Two sides on two extremes in La Liga face off in the next round of matches; Deportivo Alaves will be playing host to Sevilla. Ahead of the game, Alaves are placed 18th in the league standings with 21 points while Sevilla are in the title race, going into this game placed second with 54 points. Alaves are three points below the safety zone and have played a game more, which makes this a key game for them. However, with just one win in the last 14 league matches, it is impossible to see how they will get three points from the title chasing Sevilla. Six times in the last 10 league matches, Alaves have conceded two or more goals and they’ve failed to score in five of the 10. In their last eight meetings with Sevilla, Alaves have not managed a win; they have four losses and as many draws.

Sevilla are coming from a key win over Real Betis, which saw them stay six points behind Real Madrid. With the league leaders going into a busy period, with tough league matches, Sevilla will want to win points now so they can enhance their chances when the race gets heated. With three wins in their last five matches, Sevilla will be confident going into this game and they’ve scored two or more goals in three of their last five matches, which places them well for this game. In La Liga, Sevilla are unbeaten in their last 12 matches and have only lost to Real Madrid in their last 19 matches in the league. It wasn’t easy for them in the last meeting with Alaves as Sevilla were forced to come from behind twice to draw 2-2, with Ivan Rakitic scoring the second in the final minute.
