La Liga Preview: Alavés Unbeaten at Home, Sevilla Aims to Continue Last Round's Momentum

On September 21 at 3 AM, the sixth round of La Liga will see Alavés hosting Sevilla at Mendizorroza Stadium.

The home advantage for Alavés cannot be underestimated. This season, they have drawn with Betis and defeated Las Palmas in their two home La Liga matches, remaining unbeaten. Looking at a longer period, from late April to now, they have remained unbeaten in their last six home La Liga games with four wins and two draws. In fact, last season, Alavés had a home win rate of 47.4%, scoring an average of 1.21 goals per game, significantly better than their away performance (win rate of 15.8%, averaging 0.68 goals per game).

The situation for Sevilla is different. With a new head coach and the loss of key players like En-Nesyri, Ocampos, and Ramos, Sevilla faced severe integration issues at the start of the season, going winless in the first four league rounds with two draws and two losses. However, in the last round, Sevilla secured their first league win by defeating Getafe 1-0. If we look at their performance across seasons, they ended an eight-game winless streak (two draws and six losses), boosting morale. During this period, Sevilla experimented with three formations (4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, 3-6-1), with both the coach and players trying out different setups.

In terms of head-to-head results, from May 2018 to January 2023, Sevilla remained unbeaten against Alavés in ten matches with six wins and four draws. However, since then, Alavés has won two consecutive matches against Sevilla, 4-3 at home and 3-2 away, turning the tide.

In terms of squad availability, Alavés’ right-back Novoa is out due to a foot injury; he played three times in the first five rounds of the season as an important rotational player. For Sevilla, midfielder Lokonga (the second most valuable player in the team) is out with a hamstring injury, and winger Suso continues to be sidelined due to injury. The former AC Milan star made 34 appearances for the team last season, scoring one goal and providing five assists.
