Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Deportivo Alavés & Sevilla face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Del Rey. All the pre-match information is available here!
These teams have little in common geographically as Sevilla have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Alavés and Sevilla.
Deportivo Alavés form and stats
Last season, Deportivo Alavés's Copa Del Rey journey ended in the 2nd round.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estadio de Mendizorroza as Deportivo Alavés have scored 13 goals to get 24 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the La Liga 2 are 7-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
The followers are hoping that Deportivo Alavés will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Real Oviedo. It's a bit interesting, but the exact score 1-0 has repeated itself three times in a row. Maraš, defender, was given a rating of 7.15/10 in that game, top of the team. Maraš won 4 of 7 duels.
Ahead of that match, Alavés won a home game hosting Burgos (1-0).Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Racing Santander are coming to town in four days.
The Deportivo Alavés fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. Deportivo Alavés are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio de Mendizorroza in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 11 matches.
Sevilla form and stats
They also participated in Copa Del Rey last season. This ended in the round of 16.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sevilla so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose).
There might be some fixture complaints from Sevilla as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-2 against Girona. Midfield player Jordán was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.31/10. Jordán had 65 successful passes (of 71 total).
A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Getafe.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Cadiz in just four days.
Sevilla have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
