Sevilla vs Deportivo Alaves Betting Tips: Sevilla to Win

Despite the pressure from second-tier team Ferrol during their visit, Sevilla managed to hold on, largely due to Juanlu Sanchez’s goal scored three minutes before the end of the game. This allowed them a 2-1 win and guaranteed their advancement to the next stage of the Copa del Rey.

The Andalusian team, currently experiencing one of the worst top-flight campaigns of the 21st century, secured a much-needed victory. However, their W3 D7 L9 record raises concern among fans as it eerily mirrors their performance during the 1999-00 season, which is when they last got relegated from LaLiga.

Although they have positioned themselves as a formidable team at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan for years, Los Nervionenses are currently not living up to this reputation. They have not been able to secure a home victory for an astonishing 105 calendar days, with four draws and four losses.

However, this Friday’s match offers the perfect chance for Sevilla to end their run of home defeats, as they welcome Alaves, a team they’ve defeated seven times in their last nine home encounters.

Babazorros, who are just one point ahead of the Andalusians in the table, will kick off the 20th LaLiga gameweek in high spirits. This follows their surprising performance in the third round of the Copa del Rey, where they ousted Real Betis with a narrow 1-0 victory.

This definitely signifies a bright beginning to 2024 for Alaves. Before their CDR achievement, they managed to secure a critical point against Champions League contenders Sociedad in a 1-1 draw. They were mere seconds away from an impressive victory in San Sebastian.

Despite their best attempts, the Blue and Whites continue to struggle with away games. They haven’t had a victory since the beginning of the season, managing to gain only four points out of a potential 30 from their 10 LaLiga visits (D4, L6).

Making matters worse, their production in the final third has been lean, having found the back of the net only three times in the past seven competitive fixtures, with two of those coming in Copa del Rey outings. For this reason, we hope that the Andalusians will be able to use all the shortcomings of their visitors to convert them into a necessary victory.
