With a more precise goal difference, Sevilla lost their last four matches and for the first time this season they are on such a negative streak. They are now only seven points away from the relegation zone and need to tighten up. The 0:1 loss as a guest to Valencia last week cost the position of coach Garcia Pimienta, who already has a substitute and will now make his debut as the new coach for Sevilla, Joaquin Caparros. Otherwise, Sevilla has not won in their last six home games, and in 9 out of the last 11 matches at home, there were under 2.5 goals.
Alaves also needs points in an attempt not to fall into the dangerous zone, as they were only one point away before this round. They rarely achieve victories, although they managed to win 1:0 against Girona in their last visit and have not had a loss in their last four consecutive away games, which had not happened so far this season.
Prediction: victory for SevillaFor the first time this season, Sevilla has four consecutive losses and I expect this negative streak to end with a victory against the struggling Alaves in Joaquin Caparros' debut.
