Sevilla v Alavés preview: sixth-placed hosts face winless-on-the-road visitors
Sevilla welcome Alavés on matchday 12 of La Liga, with the hosts in 6th and the visitors in 11th and still searching for a first away win of the season.
The occasion and the table
Sevilla host Alavés in La Liga on matchday 12, with kick-off set for 6 November 2026 20:00. The two sides arrive in different parts of the table, but the meeting carries weight for both.
Sevilla sit 6th with 17 points from 11 matches. Their record shows 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats, with 17 goals scored and 19 conceded. Alavés are 11th with 12 points from 11 matches, made up of 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats, with 15 goals scored and 17 conceded.
Recent form and home/away records
Sevilla's last 5 matches have brought 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Most recently they lost 1-3 away to Getafe. Before that they won 3-0 away against Sporting Hortaleza, and before that they beat Osasuna 2-0 at home. Earlier still came a 1-4 defeat away to Real Madrid, and before that a 3-3 draw away at Levante.
Alavés have gone 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats across their last 5 matches. Their most recent outing was a 1-6 defeat away to Barcelona. Before that they drew 1-1 at home with Málaga, and before that they lost 1-2 away to Celta Vigo. Earlier they were beaten 1-2 at home by Atlético Madrid, and before that they drew 0-0 away at Athletic Club.
The venue records add further context. Sevilla have played 5 La Liga matches at home this season, winning 3, drawing 0 and losing 2, with 7 goals scored and 7 conceded. Alavés have also played 5 La Liga matches away from home, without a win: 2 draws and 3 defeats, with 4 goals scored and 11 conceded.
Previous meetings
The last 2 meetings between the clubs have both been tight. The most recent, on 14 February 2026, finished Sevilla 1-1 Alavés. Before that, on 17 December 2025, the score was Alavés 1-0 Sevilla. Sevilla have therefore not beaten Alavés in either of those two encounters.
Players to watch
Isaac Romero Bernal is Sevilla's top scorer in La Liga this season with 3 goals. With Sevilla having found the net in each of their last 5 matches, his contribution in front of goal will be closely followed.
For Alavés, Lucas Boye leads the way with 5 La Liga goals this season, a significant share of his side's 15 league goals. His output could be central to the visitors' hopes of ending their wait for an away win.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to Sevilla as a side that regularly finds the net but also concedes. They have scored 17 and conceded 19 in La Liga, and in their last 5 matches they scored in all 5, kept a clean sheet in 2, and saw both teams score in 3. At home their goals scored and conceded are level at 7 apiece.
Alavés have a slightly tighter overall league record, with 15 scored and 17 conceded, but their away figures are a concern: 4 scored and 11 conceded in 5 matches on the road. In their last 5 matches they scored in 4, kept a clean sheet in 1, and both teams scored in 4. That pattern suggests the visitors have been able to find a goal in most matches while struggling to keep opponents out.
