Deportivo Alaves vs Sevilla: Sevillians won't lose

In round 27 of the Spanish championship, Alaves will  play host to Sevilla. Let's have a look at the form of the teams and what you should bet on.

Alaves broke their ten-match unbeaten streak in a classy fashion and managed to beat a resilient Valencia 2:1. After that, they lost to Real Madrid (0:3) and then, in the last round, made it 2:2 to Getafe. In the standings, Alaves are bottom of the relegation zone, only 21 points behind, four points behind the bottom of the table.

Sevilla looks very decent this campaign and are in contention for the league title. The Red and Whites are currently in second place with 54 points, six points behind Real Madrid. In their last eight games, they suffered only one defeat. The only loss was a 0:1 draw at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb in their return leg of the Europa League tie. However, Sevilla won the first leg (3:1) and qualified for the last eight. And after that defeat, they were victorious in the Seville derby against Betis (2:1).

We think that Sevilla's quality will be a major factor in the match. Obviously, Alaves have few chances and can only earn points if they park the bus in front of their own goal. The home side will certainly do that, while the visitors must convert at least one goal chance. We expect something in the region of 0:1, and as insurance we'll take a non-win for the Red-Whites and the bottom side. We predict that Sevilla will not lose + Under (2.5).
