Correct Score Prediction

Alaves 1-2 Sevilla

While Alavés are tough to beat at home, Sevilla’s recent 4-0 demolition of Oviedo suggests their attack is finally clicking. The visitors have the deeper squad to handle the midweek rotation, and their experience in knockout football should give them the edge. We expect a tight, physical encounter, but Sevilla’s quality in the final third—likely through impact substitutes—should see them edge it by the odd goal in three.

Team News Alaves

Manager Eduardo Coudet has a few concerns ahead of this cup tie. Midfield engine Jon Guridi remains sidelined with a knee injury, which is a significant blow to their central stability. Winger Calebe is a major doubt after picking up a knock in the loss to Real Madrid.

Sevilla travel north without Alfon, who suffered an ankle injury recently. However, the squad is largely healthy. Djibril Sow and Chidera Ejuke, who were on target in the last round, are expected to feature prominently. Goalkeeper Orjan Nyland may be rested for the cup keeper, while young talents likely to get minutes include Juanlu to keep legs fresh for the league campaign.
