Sevilla (home)
- Sevilla FC have won 3 and lost 2 of their 5 home games in LaLiga 2026/2027.
- Luis Garcia has been in charge of Sevilla since 24 March 2026 and his high-energy team press has resulted in a high-tempo, aggressive style that looks to suffocate opponents with a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 press and hit on the counter.
- Sevilla have had a mixed bag of results, but come into the game in good form after a 2-0 LaLiga victory over Osasuna and a 0-3 win away to Sporting Hortaleza in the Copa del Rey.
Deportivo Alaves (away)
- Deportivo Alaves are still seeking their first away win after 4 games on the road.
- Alaves have conceded only 5 goals in 4 away games in LaLiga 2026/2027.
- Quique Sanchez Flores, who has led Alaves since 3 March 2026, has built his team around structure, discipline and counter attacks.
- Alaves have been poor of late (W0, D2, L3 in last five) and typically line up in a compact 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 block, ceding plenty of possession and looking to hit on the break and from set pieces.
Sevilla
Isaac Romero has scored three goals in the last five matches.
Alaves
Lucas Boye is their dangerman with four LaLiga 2026/2027 goals in six appearances.
Betting Insights
- Sevilla are the current favorites at 2.08, ahead of Alaves at 3.5 and the draw at 3.3.
- The odds and the visitors' compact style suggest this will be a close, low-scoring affair.
- Under 2.5 goals looks a decent fit at 1.65.
- Both teams to score is slightly on the low side at 1.93.
- Sevilla have conceded seven times in five home matches in the league, so Alaves can get some joy if they can break the press.
Prediction
- Sevilla FC will be the more likely winner of Friday's game against Deportivo Alaves, but the balance of tactics and the odds point to few goals at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan.
- The hosts should have the edge on the day, although Alaves can clog things up enough to keep this close; our main recommendation is a bet on the under 2.5 goals market given the visitors' compact set-up and the odds available.
