CD Alaves and Sevilla will battle for three points in a La Liga matchday six fixture on Friday. The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the 3-2 defeat they suffered away to Espanyol last weekend.
The game was level at the break, with Javi Puado and Tomas Conechny scoring for both sides. Puado seized the initiative by completing his hat-trick after the break while Nahuel Tenaglia pulled one back for the visitors midway through the second half.
Despite the loss, Alaves have made their best start to a La Liga campaign in six years and are currently in eighth spot with seven points from five games.

Sevilla, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a hard-fought 1-0 home win over Getafe. Veteran skipper Jesus Navas rolled back the years to break the deadlock in the 22nd minute with what was his first league goal in six years. It also made the 38-year-old Sevilla's oldest goalscorer in their history. The Andalusians were reduced to 10 men late in the game but held on to claim their first win of the season.
The victory saw them climb to 14th spot in the table with five points to their name.

Alaves vs Sevilla Prediction
Alaves won consecutive games against Real Sociedad and Las Palmas before crashing down to earth in Catalunya last weekend. Manager Luis Garcia has had to onboard as many as 14 new arrivals during the summer but the 51-year-old has started the season brightly. Los Blanquiazules will be hoping to get back to winning ways and will be optimistic, having completed a league double over Sevilla for the first time in 70 years.
Sevilla have never lost three games in a row to their upcoming opponents and are fresh off a scrappy victory last weekend. Manager Garcia Pimienta will be hoping to oversee a rare away victory for his new side. A fast start could be crucial to their hopes for success, as Los Rojiblancos are winless in games where they conceded first since March 2023, losing 19 of 25 games.
We are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
