Alaves vs. Sevilla - Prediction, Team News, Lineups
Preview
Alaves and Sevilla will face off at the Estadio de Mendizorroza on Saturday in a crucial La Liga clash. Both teams are coming off disappointing results in their last matches, and will be looking to bounce back with a win.
Alaves are currently 17th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone. They have won just one of their last five matches, and will need to start picking up points if they want to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.
Sevilla are fifth in the table, but they are seven points behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid. They have won just two of their last five matches, and will need to start winning consistently if they want to qualify for the Champions League.
Team News
Alaves will be without suspended defender Ximo Navarro. They will also be without injured midfielders Manu Garcia and Tomas Pina.
Sevilla will be without suspended defender Jules Kounde. They will also be without injured midfielders Ivan Rakitic and Erik Lamela.
Lineups
Alaves: Pacheco; Aguirregabiria, Laguardia, Lejeune, Duarte; Escalante, Moya; Rioja, Pons, Pellistri; Joselu
Sevilla: Bono; Montiel, Nianzou, Rekik, Acuna; Fernando, Delaney; Suso, Torres, Papu Gomez; En-Nesyri
Prediction
This is a tough match to call, but Sevilla should have the edge. They have a more experienced and talented squad, and they are in better form than Alaves. I predict that Sevilla will win 2-1.
