On Tuesday Jan 17th, Deportivo Alavés will host Sevilla at Estadio De Mendizorroza in a clash of the Copa Del Rey. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 1 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Deportivo Alavés is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Real Valladolid. Mamadou Sylla scored the first goal for Deportivo Alavés in the 11th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Real Valladolid was frustrated by Deportivo Alavés’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Deportivo Alavés ended the match with the shutout victory. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Deportivo Alavés should be reasonably happy with their performance, while sevilla is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Girona. Nianzou Kouassi scored the first goal for Sevilla in the 13th minute, then in the 46th minute, Toni Villa sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Cristhian Ricardo Stuani Curbelo Finally they completed the comback in the 88th minute on a goal by Yangel Herrera to cap off a wild match. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
