Sevilla vs Alaves Prediction - Nov 6, 2026

Sevilla vs Alaves prediction: home edge under the lights

Our Sevilla vs Alaves prediction looks toward the hosts, but this should be more competitive than the league positions suggest. The teams meet at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on Friday, November 6, 2026, with kick-off at 20:00 GMT, or 21:00 local time.

This Matchday 12 fixture finds Sevilla sixth in La Liga with 17 points. They have scored 17 goals and conceded 19, which explains why their matches rarely feel calm. Their last five games brought one win, one draw and three defeats, including a disappointing 3-1 loss at Getafe. Even so, Sevilla have looked far more dependable at home.

Alaves arrive in tenth place with 12 points, having scored 15 and allowed 17. Their bright start has faded into a five-game winless run of two draws and three losses. A 6-1 defeat at Barcelona was particularly painful, and they are still searching for their first away league victory of the season.

Familiar coaches and important team news

The dugouts offer a fun twist. Sevilla coach Luis García Plaza previously managed Alaves, while visiting boss Quique Sánchez Flores led Sevilla during the 2023/24 campaign. Both entered their current jobs in March 2026. They know their former clubs well, so neither can easily hide the tactical homework.

Sevilla should try to control possession, move the ball through midfield and keep Alaves defending close to their own box. However, striker Isaac Romero is highly doubtful with a knee problem. Losing the team’s leading scorer, even with only three goals, would reduce Sevilla’s penalty-area threat. Marcão, Miguel Sierra and Peque are also ruled out.

The Sevilla community also approaches the fixture in a sombre mood following reports of the passing of former player Jesús de Miguel. Condolences have been shared by supporters around the club.

The latest head to head meeting, played here on February 14, 2026, finished 1-1. Sevilla were priced at 2.18 that day, while Alaves had odds of 4.10. That result is a useful warning against treating the home side as an automatic winner.
