The Matchday 32 clash in La Liga between Sevilla and Alaves will take place on April 20 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. Sevilla vs. Alaves: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Sevilla
Earlier in March, the team was in contention for a spot in European competitions. However, in their last four league matches, Garcia Pimienta's side suffered four defeats and dropped to 14th place in the standings, now closer to the relegation zone (7 points) than to the top six (12 points). Notably, in their last four rounds, the club lost by a narrow margin.
- In their last seven La Liga matches, Sevilla has secured only one victory (2 draws and 4 losses).
- The first half ended in a draw in 6 of Sevilla's last 8 league games.
- The club has not scored more than one goal in their last 11 home matches in La Liga.
Predicted lineup for Sevilla (3-4-3)
Orjan Nyland – Kike Salas, Jose Carmona, Loic Bade – Lucien Agoume, Djibril Sow, Nemanja Gudelj, Albert Sambi Lokonga – Dodi Lukebakio, Isaac Romero, Peke Fernandez.
Defender Kike Salas will miss the game due to yellow card accumulation.
Alaves
Eduardo Coudet's team nearly took points from Real Madrid in the last round but ultimately fell 0-1 at home. In their last six La Liga matches, the club has lost twice, both times at home (2 wins and 2 draws). The Basques are currently 17th in the standings, just one point ahead of the nearest relegation zone rival.
- A maximum of two goals were scored in 6 of Alaves' last 7 league games.
- The club has not scored more than one goal in 9 of their last 11 La Liga matches.
- The Basques have suffered only one defeat in their last eight away matches in La Liga (2 wins and 5 draws).
Predicted lineup for Alaves (4-3-3)
Jesus Owono – Abdel Abqar, Manu Sanchez, Nahuel Tenaglia, Santiago Mourino – Antonio Blanco, Joan Jordan, Carles Alena – Kike Garcia, Carlos Martin, Carlos Vicente.
Defenders Manu Sanchez and Santiago Mourino will miss the match due to suspension.

Sevilla vs. Alaves: Match Prediction
Both teams have recently performed better away from home than on their own turf. Sevilla has not won at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in their last six La Liga matches (3 draws and 3 losses). Additionally, since September last year, the team has failed to score more than one goal in a home La Liga match.
Alaves shows similarly disappointing results at home, but in their last eight away league matches, only Barcelona managed to defeat them (2 wins and 5 draws). The Basques have also scored in 8 of their last 9 away La Liga games. Furthermore, Sevilla has not defeated this opponent in their last five La Liga meetings (2 draws and 3 losses).
Therefore, my prediction is "Alaves to win or draw".
