Alaves vs Sevilla Prediction and Analysis: The Away Team Stunned

Latest team news for Alaves vs Sevilla

Carlos Vicente needed less than a minute to score after coming on as a substitute against Real Madrid, and the striker, who scored a goal and provided an assist in the second-round victory against Portugalete, is likely to start this match.

Facundo Garces, a player who has been absent for a long time, is still serving a suspension related to falsifying documents to play for the Malaysian national team.

Peque and Isaac Romero were suspended for Sevilla's 4-0 win over Oviedo, but both were eligible to play on Wednesday night.

However, Sevilla will be without Cesar Azpilicueta, Adnan Januzaj, Tanguy Nianzou, Orjan Nyland, Gabriel Suazo, and Ruben Vargas due to muscle injury problems, while Marcao is expected to miss his fourth consecutive match with a foot injury.

The visiting team will also be without Kike Salas due to a groin injury, marking the first time the defender has missed a Copa del Rey match this season.

Latest football match prediction: Alaves vs Sevilla

Since their last triumph in the 2009-10 season, Sevilla have come very close to winning the Copa del Rey on several occasions, reaching the finals in 2016 and 2018 but losing to Barcelona on both occasions.

However, Matias Almeyda's team suffered a disappointing early exit in the round of 16 last season, losing to Almeria. Therefore, Sevilla are determined to go further in this season's tournament.

After losing three of their four matches in November, Los Nervionenses started December more positively with two wins and one draw in their three games, thus gaining a fairly good morale before the upcoming matches.

Sevilla understand they cannot afford to be complacent against Alaves, having won only one of the last five encounters between the two teams, although that victory came less than three months ago in their most recent meeting.

Having to play away from home for the third consecutive time in the Copa del Rey, the visiting team will face their toughest challenge of the season so far on Wednesday evening. However, they still have added confidence thanks to their previous away wins against Toledo and Extremadura with a combined score of 6-2.

While Sevilla has won the Copa del Rey numerous times, Alaves is still waiting for its first title in this competition. Their best achievement was reaching the final in the 2017 season.

Coach Eduardo Coudet's team also had a forgettable November, losing all three of their final matches of the month. However, the situation improved significantly after two consecutive victories against Portugalete and Real Sociedad.

In their most recent match, Alaves came very close to securing a hard-fought point against Real Madrid, before Rodrygo scored the winning goal with 16 minutes remaining, ending his 11-month goal drought in La Liga.

Nevertheless, Los Albiazules can still glean many positive signs from this performance as they aim to avoid two consecutive home defeats for the first time since April.

With 10 goals scored in their last two matches, only Getafe and Real Betis have scored more than Sevilla. However, the visitors understand that the upcoming challenge will be much more difficult than their 7-0 victory against CD Getxo and 3-0 against Portugalete.
