Sevilla host Deportivo Alavés on November 6 in the opening match of La Liga’s 12th round. The fixture at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán brings together two sides with contrasting recent records before the international break. Sevilla are sixth and have won three of their five home league games, although their latest outing ended in defeat. Alavés sit 11th and arrive without a victory in seven matches. Their away record adds to the challenge: they have yet to win on the road in La Liga this season.

Sevilla’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Sevilla have taken five wins, two draws and four defeats from their 11 league matches. Their results have been less convincing recently, with two wins, one draw and two losses in the last five games. Over that stretch, they have averaged 2.0 goals scored and 2.0 conceded per match, showing both the threat they can offer and the difficulty they have had keeping opponents out.

Their most recent result was a 3-1 loss to Getafe on November 1, despite Sevilla scoring first. Before that, they beat Osasuna 2-0 in their latest home fixture and won 3-0 away to Sporting Hortaleza in the first round of the Copa del Rey. Three victories from five home league matches give Luis García Plaza’s team a more encouraging record at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán than their recent results alone might suggest.

There are also reasons to expect Sevilla to create chances. They have scored at least once in each of their last 12 matches and have led at half-time in their last three. Fofana has contributed one goal and three assists, while Félix Correia has two goals and two assists in seven La Liga appearances. Robbie Ure has also supplied two goals and two assists. Miguel Sierra and Manu Bueno are unavailable, and Isaac Romero is a doubt.

Deportivo Alavés’ Recent Form and Key Stats

Deportivo Alavés began their league campaign strongly but have since gone seven matches without a win, drawing twice and losing five times. Their last five games have brought no victories, with averages of 0.8 goals scored and 2.2 conceded. The latest setback was a 6-1 defeat to FC Barcelona on October 31, extending a run that has made it difficult for Quique Sánchez Flores’s side to build on its early results.

The away figures are particularly relevant to this trip. Alavés have drawn two and lost three of their five league matches away from home, scoring four goals and conceding 11. Their overall La Liga record stands at three wins, three draws and five defeats, but their output has been lower on the road than across the season as a whole. Against a Sevilla side that has collected three home wins, improving that away form is the immediate task.

Lucas Boyé has scored five league goals for Alavés, though only one has come during their seven-match winless run. Mariano Díaz has four goals and four assists in the competition and scored against Barcelona in the previous match. Both have made significant contributions despite the team’s recent results. Facundo Garcés and Mikel Rodríguez are unavailable for the visit to Sevilla.

Sevilla vs Deportivo Alavés Match Analysis

The contrast between Sevilla’s home results and Alavés’ away record is the clearest feature of this La Liga preview. The hosts have not been consistently convincing in recent weeks, and their average of two goals conceded across the last five matches gives Alavés a route into the contest. Sevilla’s scoring streak, however, means the visitors will need to handle a side that has found the net regularly even when results have fluctuated.

Recent meetings offer a more balanced perspective than current form. The last match between these teams finished 1-1 on February 14, 2026, while Sevilla’s record across the five head-to-head games in the supplied summary is one win, two draws and two defeats. Alavés therefore have reason to compete despite their winless run, but their five away league games without a victory remain a substantial concern.

Timing may matter as well. Sevilla have led at the interval in each of their last three matches, while every one of their last 12 La Liga games has featured at least one second-half goal. Those figures do not settle the outcome, but they underline the need for both teams to stay alert throughout the match. Sevilla’s stronger home return makes them the more convincing side on current evidence; Alavés will be looking to end their seven-game wait for a win.
