Sevilla vs Deportivo Alaves Preview

Sevilla enter this fixture sitting sixth in the La Liga table with 17 points from 11 matches. Luis García Plaza's side suffered a 3-1 defeat against Getafe in their previous league outing, missing an opportunity to strengthen their position in the European places. A return to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuan offers them an opportunity to respond in front of their supporters.

The hosts have won five, drawn two and lost four league matches this season. Their attacking options include Isaac Romero, Lucas Stassin and Felix Correia, while Youssouf Fofana and Lucien Agoumé provide balance in midfield. Sevilla will need better defensive organisation after conceding three goals against Getafe.

Alaves, meanwhile, occupy 11th place with 12 points. Their recent performances have been concerning, particularly after suffering a heavy 6-1 defeat against Barcelona. Quique Sánchez Flores' team have also struggled to collect points away from home. They will need a disciplined defensive performance to prevent Sevilla from controlling the game.

Lucas Boyé remains an important attacking option for the visitors. With five league goals, the Argentine forward has been one of their most productive players this season. Alaves will look to use his physical presence and hold-up play to create opportunities against the Sevilla defence.

Sevilla vs Deportivo Alaves Key Player Battles to Watch

Youssouf Fofana vs Ander Guevara

The midfield contest could determine which side controls possession and dictates the pace. Fofana brings physical strength, ball progression and creativity to Sevilla's midfield. Guevara's responsibility will be to disrupt those movements and prevent the hosts from building attacks comfortably.

Isaac Romero vs Nicolas Valentini

Romero's movement inside the penalty area can cause problems for opposing defenders. Valentini could have an important role in limiting his space and preventing him from receiving dangerous passes. Sevilla will look to exploit any defensive gaps through their attacking combinations.

Kike Salas vs Lucas Boye

Boye's physical presence makes him a difficult opponent for central defenders. Salas will need to compete effectively in aerial challenges and prevent the Argentine from bringing his teammates into the attack. Keeping Boyé quiet could significantly reduce Alaves' attacking threat.
