The victory of Alavés against Mallorca has directly impacted Sevilla FC's standing, placing them in the bottom three positions of LaLiga for the second time this season. Unlike previous occasions, the team from Nervión will spend Saturday night in the relegation zone, compelling them to secure points in their upcoming match at El Sadar to try and escape the lower ranks.

Results from direct rivals in the fight for survival have not been favorable for Sevilla FC, as several teams have managed to accumulate significant points in recent matchdays. Alavés, who started the day in second-to-last place, achieved a crucial comeback against Mallorca. Despite the Vermilions taking the lead with a goal, the Babazorro side reacted in the second half, scoring two goals in just 14 minutes to secure the win.

This triumph by the team led by a coach has given Alavés a two-point lead over Sevilla FC, which is now relegated to the relegation zone until, at least, Sunday at 18:30, when they will play at El Sadar. The need to earn points is imperative, as failure to do so could leave the team in this difficult situation for more than a week, considering their next match is scheduled for Monday, May 4.

Currently, Sevilla FC is among the three teams that would be relegated to Segunda División, alongside two other clubs. They have six matches remaining to avoid this outcome and are just one point behind another team that will face one of the bottom-placed clubs. Furthermore, another team could potentially overtake Sevilla FC if they fail to win against Osasuna and their direct rival secures a victory in their Monday match.
