Alaves vs Sevilla Preview


Alaves vs Sevilla

Competition – Spanish Primera Liga

Stadium: Mendizorroza

Date: 20th September 2024

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

La Liga returns this weekend with Sevilla travelling to the Estadio Mendizorrotza to play Alaves in the first game of Matchday six.

Alavés have had their best start to a La Liga season in six years, with a return of seven points from their opening five matches (W2, D1, L2). However, manager Luis García is urging fans not to get too carried away despite their impressive form. The manager has pointed out that 14 new faces arrived at Mendizorroza this summer so he insists that his squad is still gelling together while admitting that the bedding process is “hard”.

The manager spoke after Alavés were beaten 3-2 at Espanyol on Saturday, following back-to-back victories over Las Palmas and Real Sociedad. He will be hopeful that his side can return to winning ways against upcoming opponents Sevilla, over whom they completed a first league double in nearly 70 years last season after previously failing to come out on top in any of the prior ten H2Hs (D4, L6).

Meanwhile, Sevilla will travel to Vitoria-Gasteiz looking to avoid being on the wrong side of history as they have never lost three in a row to Alavés. They should make the long journey north with a little bit of confidence restored at least as they finally landed their first victory of the season last weekend – a scrappy 1-0 success against Getafe ended a four-game winless streak (D2, L2).

That also served as a first victory for new manager García Pimienta, something he admitted was “much needed” following his summer arrival. He will now try and mastermind a rare away victory for Sevilla, who have won just four league games on the road since the start of the 2023/24 campaign (D8, L9), including a current five-match winless run (D3, L2).
