Sevilla 19/20 to beat Alaves in Friday’s La Liga showdown

Competition: La Liga

Market: Sevilla win

Odds: 19/20 @ 888sport

Looking to open this weekend’s La Liga fixtures with a flurry on the road, Sevilla will make the trip to Alaves on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Alaves might have managed to pick up a single point last time out, they do find themselves firmly battling it out at the foot of the La Liga table. In their 26 top-flight matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, six draws and 15 defeats, scoring 21 and conceding 44 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 21 and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat four points adrift of safety, it should also be noted that Alaves hold the joint-worst attacking tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, despite playing out a 2-2 draw against Getafe on home soil, Friday’s hosts have managed to win just two of their previous 15 matchups across all formats. It’s also worth highlighting that Alaves have won just one of their previous six home fixtures.

As for the visitors, managing to make a return to winning ways last time out, Sevilla find themselves battling it out at the top of the La Liga standings. In their 26 top-tier matchups so far this season, they have recorded 15 wins, nine draws and two defeats, scoring 39 and conceding just 18 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 54 and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat second in the standings, it should also be noted that they hold the best-defensive tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 victory against Real Betis, Sevilla have lost just one of their previous eight matchups across all formats. In a battle between two sides scrapping it out at opposite ends of the table, we’re backing an away win at attractive odds here.
