Sevilla - Deportivo Alaves

Sevilla enter matchday 12 of the LaLiga season looking to steady their course following a recent defeat against Getafe. Their campaign has been marked by inconsistency, though a comfortable victory over Sporting Hortaleza in the Copa del Rey provided a brief respite from a difficult league run. Meanwhile, Deportivo Alaves arrive at Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan searching for a spark after a challenging sequence of results, including a heavy loss to Barcelona. Their recent form has seen them struggle to find defensive stability, making this trip to Andalusia a critical test for the visitors as they attempt to climb the table.

The history between these two sides remains competitive, evidenced by their 1-1 draw on 14 February 2026. Sevilla will be forced to adjust their defensive setup, with Kike Salas sidelined by injury alongside teammates Youssouf Fofana and Miguel Angel Sierra. As the expected XI prepares to take the pitch, the focus turns to whether the hosts can leverage home advantage to overcome their current setbacks or if Deportivo Alaves can exploit the gaps in a reshuffled Sevilla backline.
