Alaves vs Sevilla prediction: Low-scoring draw in Vitoria
Key stats
- Our Alaves vs Sevilla betting tips take into account that there have been just three goals in total in the last three matches involving the Andalusians.
- Since appointing Garcia Pimienta, Sevilla have drawn both of their away league games.
- There have been just two goals in the two La Liga matches at Mendizorrotza so far this term.
Correct score prediction: Alaves 1-1 Sevilla
The visitors are still a work in progress under new boss Garcia Pimienta, but they won for the first time under the former Las Palmas coach last time out. With key players Saul and Loic Bade expected to return to the eleven for this one, they look capable of extending an unbeaten start away from home.

- HOME: Evens (2.00) – 50.0%

The hosts are the favourites according to the Alaves vs Sevilla odds with an implied probability of 50.0% that they win this match.
They were beaten last time out though, with an unexpectedly entertaining match resulting in a 3-2 win for newly promoted Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium.
It was tighter at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, but Sevilla saw off Getafe 1-0 thanks to a goal from veteran Jesus Navas.
Today’s football betting tips look at some of the best picks from the upcoming action around the world.
Most recent H2Hs: Goals galore last season
