Alaves have edged two one-goal wins in two of their last three home games in all competitions, with a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Barcelona something of an anomaly.
In their last four league games, the hosts have kept just one clean sheet, but the return of their key central midfielders should promise to shore things up a little more heading into the weekend.
Sevilla have battled their way to five consecutive wins in all competitions, which is a run that is making them candidates for silverware both in La Liga and the Champions League this campaign.
