Alaves vs Sevilla prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-09-19 16:30.
[p]Looking to build on a strong start to the La Liga campaign, Alavés host Sevilla on matchday five.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Alavés have enjoyed a positive first few weeks this term, grinding out their second win of the season at Athletic last weekend to take their points tally up to seven (W2, D1, L1). Los Albiazules had an identical record at this stage last season and still ended up becoming embroiled in a relegation battle after losing six of their next seven matches (W1), so they won’t get too far ahead of themselves, but the signs appear promising that this season could bring more joy. Eduardo Coudet may even start dreaming of leading them into Europe, if they can sustain this pace.[/p]
[p]After his summer appointment, MatĂas Almeyda’s reign at Sevilla began with back-to-back defeats, and fears that the Andalusian giants were going to be fighting relegation for a second season running were rife. Since then though, they have put four points on the board (W1, D1), with the most recent of those earned via a late equaliser against Elche last weekend, displaying the resilience they are going to need to start climbing the table. Thanks to that leveller, Sevilla now have the opportunity to go three La Liga games without defeat for the first time since March. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Sevilla have not won any of the pair’s last six league H2Hs (D3, L3). Five of the meetings in that sequence saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]None of Alavés’ four games this term have been decided by more than one goal.[/p]
[p]Six of Alavés’ last seven La Liga wins were all achieved by a 1-0 scoreline.[/p]
[p]Sevilla have only failed to score in one of their last nine league games.[/p]
[p]There has been at least one first-half goal in each of Sevilla’s four games this term.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Former Sevilla man Mariano DĂaz joined AlavĂ©s in summer, and he was booked in both of his previous La Liga appearances against the Andalusians during his time at Real Madrid. Isaac Romero is a man in form having struck in back-to-back games, with seven of his ten La Liga goals to date scored in the first half.[/p]
[p]Carlos Protesoni remains an injury doubt for Alavés. Nigerian duo Chidera Ejuke and Akor Adams are both expected to return for Sevilla, but Joan Jordán is set to be sidelined for another few weeks after his surgery.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Estadio Mendizorrotza has not been kind to Sevilla in recent years, but their visits have brought goals, so we recommend backing Alavés to win and over 2.5 match goals.[/p]
