The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Deportivo Alaves lock horns with Julen Lopetegui's Sevilla outfit at the Estadio Mendizorroza on Friday.
Deportivo Alaves vs Sevilla Preview
Deportivo Alaves are currently in 19th place in the La Liga standings and have struggled to impose themselves in the top flight this season. The Basque outfit played out a 2-2 draw against Getafe last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
