La Liga: High-profile vs below par, at least based on the league table. Sevilla - Deportivo Alavés. Home win or a shock?
- Sevilla have the fewest conceded goals (7) in La Liga
- Sevilla have scored more than double the goals of Deportivo Alavés.
Sevilla and Deportivo Alavés should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Deportivo Alavés have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Sevilla, as their goalkeeper Yassine Bounou has completely shut out the opponents for 248 minutes in the La Liga.
Happy days for Sevilla in their previous game, a La Liga match away at Real Betis (placed 5th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Marcos Acuña was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.23 out of 10. The defender Acuña scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 5 of 9 duels.
