The first game of La Liga’s sixth round will take place in Vitoria-Gasteiz. In this game, Sevilla’s strength will be tested against the local Alaves.
Following their 2022–23 comeback to La Liga, Alaves had a fantastic 2023–24 campaign. With 46 points, they ended in tenth place, thirteen points clear of the danger zone. Given that ensuring their existence was their only objective, it is safe to say that they achieved it. Even this year, they aim for the same thing: “only” to stay alive. The Basque squad is currently doing well, having won seven points from the first five matches and occupying the seventh spot.
Sevilla was dismal in their previous two La Liga campaigns, finishing in eleventh and thirteenth place, respectively. They were excused from that one since they had already won the Europa League that season. They still considered the previous season a complete and utter failure. The Andalusian squad’s dismal performance continued this year as they finished with five points in as many rounds—even lower than the previous year’s average. Their poor performance at the beginning of the season is disappointing, even if everyone else thinks they’ll improve with time. Their progress up to this point suggests they will likely finish in the centre of the pack.
