Alaves vs. Sevilla: Match Prediction
In the upcoming match, I favor the hosts. The Basques are in good form and even managed to beat Athletic away in the last round, a team that usually only loses at home to top La Liga sides. Alaves is unbeaten in their last six home league matches, conceding just 3 goals in this run.
Meanwhile, Sevilla has only beaten Girona and Las Palmas in their last 15 league matches (the former is a current La Liga underdog, and the latter has already been relegated to Segunda). Sevilla concedes frequently away from home, having let in 14 goals in their last 7 away league matches. Also noteworthy is that Alaves is unbeaten against this opponent in their last six league meetings (3 wins and 3 draws).
My prediction – Alaves with a handicap (0)
* Each team's starting lineup is based on their previous match in this tournament.
