Sevilla vs. Deportivo Alaves 11/20/21 LaLiga Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Sevilla is hosting Deportivo Alaves at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in round 14 of the Spanish LaLiga. Sevilla is playing really well in LaLiga this season, they have only 1 loss, and they are in 3^rd place. Deportivo is in great form after their terrible start to the season, and they are now undefeated in their last 4 games.

Sevilla is the best defensive team in the league right now with only 7 conceded goals, and their offense has been quite solid with 21 scored goals. The Champions League is not going great for Sevilla right now, and they are in the last place with only 3 points, but with 2 more games left Sevilla can still advance to the next stage. Sevilla was playing against Betis in their last LaLiga game, and they were a better team, by a lot. Sevilla has had 74% of ball possession in that game, 2 shots on goal, 1 corner kick, 3 big chances created, and a high 91% of the correct passes. The first half was slow, but when Betis conceded a red card in the 45^th minute, Sevilla’s couldn’t allow themselves to lose this game. With 2 scored goals in the second half, Sevilla has won this game 0-2. Next week’s Champions League game against Wolfsburg will be crucial for Sevilla, and they are playing at home, and if Sevilla gets a win, they could still be in play to advance to the next stage.

Deportivo is now on a nice roll, they are undefeated in their last 4 games, and thanks to that Deportivo has escaped the relegation zone. With 13 points, 8 scored goals, and 15 conceded goals, Deportivo is now in 14^th place. Joselu is the leading goalscorer for Deportivo with 5 goals. Navarro is the only injured player for Deportivo. In their last LaLiga game against Levante at home, Deportivo was the dominant team with 61% of ball possession, 3 shots on goal, 1 corner kick, 2 big chances created, and 77% of the correct passes. Deportivo was losing for most of this match, but they showed a lot of character in the second half, and with 2 late goals, Deportivo has won this game 2-1. I know Deportivo has what it takes to save themselves from the relegation, but now they need a few more positive results to keep their form on this high level, and just by looking at their schedule, I think they can win some points over the next few weeks.

Sevilla is perfect at home so far, they haven’t to Alaves in their last 3 games, while Alaves hasn’t lost in their last 4 games. I think this will be an interesting matchup, but I don’t see a lot of goals, to be honest. I think Deportivo is in good form, and because Sevilla is playing in the Champions League next week, I will take a double chance on Alaves.
