The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action this week as Sevilla take on Deportivo Alaves at the Mendizorrotza Stadium on Tuesday. Sevilla have been impressive this season and will want to win this game.
Deportivo Alaves are currently in 16th place in the La Liga standings and have plenty of work to do to avoid relegation this season. The Basque outfit suffered a shocking 5-0 defeat to Almeria in the Copa del Rey and will want to bounce back in this match.
Sevilla, on the other hand, will be looking to finish in the top four after a strong start to the season and find themselves in sixth place in the league table. The Andalusian giants were defeated by Atletico Madrid last weekend and will need to take it up a notch in this match.
