Alaves have not lost any of their last six home matches
Sevilla have failed to win any of their last five away La Liga fixtures
The Babazorros edged out a seven-goal thriller in this fixture last season, winning 4-3
Sevilla to slump to defeat in the Basque Country
Sevilla claimed their first win of the season last time out at home to Getafe but Los Nervionenses have struggled away from the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in recent months and they could fall to defeat on Friday night when they travel to Alaves.
The visitors have won just three of their 12 away La Liga matches in 2024 and have started this campaign in unconvincing fashion, with just five points accrued from their opening five matches.
Alaves meanwhile have taken seven points from their first five fixtures and have lost just one of their last 10 matches at the Mendizorroza, while the Babazorros have also kept clean sheets in each of their last three in front of their own fans.
Alaves’s strength at home should see them to victory in this encounter and their defensive prowess could add an element of comfortability to proceedings. Sevilla have failed to score in two of their last three home matches and they may fail to do so again, with a 2-0 home win looking an appealing prospect.
