The “Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan” Stadium will host, at nine o’clock on Friday evening, the opening confrontation of the twelfth round of the Spanish Football League, which brings together Sevilla and its guest Deportivo Alaves, in a meeting in which the two parties seek to compensate after their failure in the last round.
The Andalusian team goes into the match while it is in sixth place with 17 points, looking to restore the tone of the void following its recent loss to Getafe, while Deportivo Alaves, which is in eleventh place with 12 points, aspires to overcome the setback of its previous downfall against Barcelona.
The confrontation has special moral dimensions. It brings together two coaches, each of whom has previously led the opposing team. Sevilla’s technical staff is led by coach Luis Garcia Plaza, who previously coached Alaves, while Quique Sanchez Flores previously coached the Andalusian team. The match also carries a nostalgic feel for some players, such as Mariano Diaz and Guridi, who face their former teams.
On the other hand, during the period from Friday to Monday, November 9, the Spanish League stadiums hold a minute of silence and a tribute to mourn the spirit of Jesus de Miguel, who passed away last Tuesday.
Match date and broadcast channels
The match’s starting whistle will sound at exactly nine o’clock in the evening, Spanish time, and the match will be broadcast live on the “DAZN LaLiga” channel.
List of absences
Sevilla suffers from several significant absences due to injury, including Pique, Miguel Sierra, and Marcao, in addition to the absence of player Manu Bueno due to suspension.
On the other hand, Deportivo Alaves is expected to rely on the duo Blanco and Ibanez in the starting lineup after they were on the bench in the last match against Barcelona, while the team is missing the efforts of both Garces and Mikel Rodriguez due to injury.
