Alaves’ play this season is quite familiar, since the team has never been a contender for the TOP-5 and even now it is only on the fifteenth line. At the same time, how this club plays in the current season, it is worth mentioning that in the previous season this team took the sixteenth position, being one step away from relegation. Pablo Machin’s wards have already lost four matches in the current draw, but the team won two matches in the last three meetings, which means that the game is slowly getting better. In addition, they won against Valladolid and Athletic Bilbao, both times it was dry, so the White-blue should be reckoned with. This is a formidable force in the lower half of the Primera table.
Nervionians walk the distance better. They played 1 more match and earned 1 more point. They got a potential advantage of 4 points. The team started well: having 2 wins over Cadiz and Levante and a prestigious draw with Bar?a on its field. And then they earn twice, 0:1 from Granada and Eibar. They got 7 points scored for 5 matches and are 13th place. So far they do not reach the Champions League, but they potentially cling to the top 6. Sevilla has a good defensive play. They conceded 4 goals in 5 rounds. But there is an unpleasant nuance: they have only 1 clean sheet. Yes, their defense is not perfect and only in two matches the opponent missed a goal. Eibar started the championship well, but lost a lot in the game against Sevilla, although it was able to win 1:0. Levante could not demonstrate such a number and lost with the same score. 1 goal from Barcelona can be recorded as an asset, whereas two moments (before the 60th minute) from a strong Cadiz at the start can be attributed to the debut of Sevilla. We get that only a goal from Granada cannot be justified.
