Deportivo Alavés - Sevilla predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Sevilla. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

At 3.55 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Sevilla are well aware of it themselves.

Losing is never easy, especially when you have everything working against you beforehand. Deportivo Alavés’s last La Liga game saw them as 2.75 underdogs and seeing them stick to a first-half draw already seemed surprising. They failed to keep up the pace after the break, however, losing the game in the end. Still, it was a narrow loss and that one-goal margin (3:2) is not something to moan too long about.

Sevilla had their work cut out for them as they entered the previous game. The 3.82 odds were somewhat favourable, but most of the advantage can be chalked up to the fact that they were playing at home. The two teams ended up in a deadlock for most of the runtime, and the match ended with a : draw.

The last 3 times we saw Deportivo Alaves play as the away team, they had serious issues stopping the ball from getting into their net, conceding more than 5 times. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck at home.

The home team managed to win 7 points so far and climb up to be number 6th in the standings. The battle is fat from over, though – winning against The Sevillistas will not be easy, and most of the season is yet to be played.

The Sevillistas’s ambitions are likely focused on winning the 3 points they need to get into the top few spots of the table. With Alaves standing in the way of those goals, however, there’s plenty of time for things to turn sour for them.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Suso, Marcão Teixeira, Loic Bade, Albert Sambi Lokonga have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.26, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
