Sevilla finished in 12th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Andalusian giants suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of Manchester City in the UEFA Super Cup in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.

Deportivo Alaves, on the other hand, secured a fourth-place finish in the Segunda Division last season and have improved over the past year. The hosts slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Cadiz last week and have a point to prove in this fixture.
