Predicted Result: Alaves 1 – 2 Sevilla
Match Preview: Alaves finished 11th in the league table last season. In addition to this, they managed to gather 29 points from the 19 home fixtures in the previous campaign. They won 7 matches, drew 8 and tasted defeat on 4 occasions at their abode. But they are generally a good side and the crowd support will keep them ahead mentally.
On the contrary, Sevilla is a formidable side for any opposition. Definitely, they have one of the most balanced squads in the league. Moreover, they are very much consistent with the Spanish top flight. Somehow they missed the opportunity to qualify for this season’s UCL. But they will try to grab their place back on this occasion.
Coming to the prediction, firstly, I guess there will be a good fight in this fixture. Moreover, both the side will be looking for a win. Thus both the parties are highly likely to score. Finally, my pick is a 2-1 away victory for the visiting side.
