Match Information
Match Overview
Sevilla host Alaves on November 6 in a Matchday 12 La Liga fixture that pits sixth-placed Sevilla against tenth-placed Alaves. With the season roughly a third of the way through, the four places between the sides make this a meaningful contest for positioning in the upper half of the table, and the manager duel features Luis García for Sevilla and Quique Sánchez Flores for Alaves.
The most striking factor is the contrasting recent form in the league. Sevilla lost 3-1 away at Getafe on November 1 after a 2-0 home win over Osasuna on October 26, and before that suffered a 4-1 defeat at Real Madrid on October 18 and drew 3-3 at Levante on October 12. Their league results have swung widely, with goals at both ends of the pitch. Alaves have not won in their last five league matches: a 6-1 defeat at Barcelona on October 31, a 1-1 home draw with Malaga on October 23, a 2-1 loss at Celta Vigo on October 18, a 2-1 home loss to Atletico Madrid on October 10, and a goalless draw at Athletic Club on September 19. Conceding six in their most recent outing will be a concern, though they face a Sevilla side that has itself shipped three or more goals in three of its last five league games.
Head-to-head history adds another layer. Of the last ten meetings, Alaves have won four, Sevilla three and three have been drawn. The most recent three have been a 1-1 draw on February 14, a 1-0 Alaves win on December 17, 2025, and a 2-1 Sevilla win in Vitoria on September 20, 2025. Closely contested games have been the norm.
Neither side lists any injuries or unavailable players, so both managers should have full squads to choose from. For Sevilla, that means the same group that started at Getafe is available, while Alaves can call on their entire squad after the heavy defeat at Barcelona. Sevilla also played a Copa del Rey tie at Hortaleza on October 29, a 3-0 win, which is relevant only as schedule context.

Overall, this is a match between two sides looking to steady their league form, with home advantage and a stronger league position on Sevilla's side, and a record of tight meetings suggesting little separates the teams.

Team Form Analysis
Sevilla
League Position: 6Sevilla Form Analysis
Sevilla's recent league form has been inconsistent, with one win, one draw and two defeats from their last four La Liga matches, plus a Copa del Rey win in between. The trajectory has dipped slightly following the 2-0 home victory over Osasuna on October 26, as they lost 3-1 at Getafe on November 1.
Attacking output has been encouraging in spells. Sevilla scored three at Levante on October 12, two against Osasuna, and netted once in each of their heavier defeats at Real Madrid and Getafe. They also scored three without reply at Hortaleza in the Copa del Rey on October 29, although that came against lower-level opposition and is best viewed as schedule context rather than a measure of league strength.
The defensive record is the clearer concern. Sevilla conceded three at Levante, four at Real Madrid and three at Getafe, with the clean sheet against Osasuna the lone exception in the league run. That is ten goals conceded in four league games, three of them away from home.
The quality of opposition has varied, with a visit to Real Madrid included. Even so, matches against Levante and Getafe produced defeats or dropped points, which suggests Sevilla will want a more composed performance at home, where their only league result in this run was a win.
Alaves
League Position: 10Alaves Form Analysis
Alaves arrive without a win in their last five La Liga matches, collecting two draws and three defeats. The trend has been downward in terms of results, culminating in the 6-1 loss at Barcelona on October 31.
Attacking output has been modest. Across the five matches, Alaves scored a total of four goals: one against Barcelona, one against Malaga, one at Celta Vigo, one against Atletico Madrid and none at Athletic Club. Scoring in four of five games is a positive sign, but they have not managed more than a single goal in any of them.
Defensively, the Barcelona result stands out, though the other four matches were much tighter. Alaves conceded twice against Celta Vigo and twice against Atletico Madrid, drew 1-1 with Malaga and held Athletic Club to a goalless draw on September 19. That goalless draw in Bilbao is the one clean sheet in the sequence.
The opposition has been demanding, featuring Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club alongside Celta Vigo and Malaga. Alaves have also played four of those five matches away or in difficult fixtures, so their position in tenth reflects a side that has stayed competitive despite the winless run. A trip to Sevilla offers a chance to turn narrow margins into points.
