The Spanish La Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Alaves and Sevilla square off at the Mendizorrotza Stadium on Saturday. Matías Almeyda’s men have failed to get the better of the hosts in their last six league meetings (3L, 3D) and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run.
Alaves picked up another huge result in what has been a solid start to the new campaign as they secured a 1-0 victory over Athletic Club at the Estadio de San Mames last Saturday.
Eduardo Coudet’s side have gone unbeaten in three of their opening four matches, claiming two wins and holding out for a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid on August 30.
Next up for Alaves is the challenge of an opposing side who have failed to win their last four encounters, losing three and claiming one draw since a 1-0 victory in the Copa del Rey back in January 2023.
