On Tuesday, Sevilla FC travels to Almeria for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. The two teams want to reach the last four of the Copa del Rey.
In order to reach this level of the competition, Almeria defeated, in turn, Hospitalet (1-4), Numancia (1-2), Alaves (5-0) and Osasuna (0-0, qualifying penalty shootout) in previous rounds. Close to the rise in the elite this season, Gomes Jose’s men are currently 3rd in Liga 2 with 45 points taken in 22 games. Defeated only once in the last 7 days, for 5 wins and 1 draw, they remain on an acquired success, at home, against the relegated Castellon last weekend (3-1).
In previous rounds, Sevilla FC dismissed Ciudad de Lucena (0-3), Linares (0-2), Leganes (0-1 after extra time) and Valencia (3-0). Against the Valencians, the Andalusians delivered a superb performance including a remarkable goal that went around the web. Very interesting since the start of the championship, the teammates of the excellent Jules Koundé now occupy 4th place in La Liga with 1 game less and 4 points ahead of the team in 5th place. In confidence, they have lost only once in the last 10 days, for 7 wins and 2 draws. Last weekend, Sevilla FC won at Eibar (0-2).
With 33 goals scored in 22 games, Almeria has the second attack in Liga 2 this season. For this meeting, the coach will be able to count on his major offensive assets Sadiq (11 goals in the league) and Corpas (9 goals). The 1st city is a former hope formed in Roma. Only titular defender Maras is uncertain for this match.
Sevilla FC is deprived of replacing midfielder Oscar Rodriguez, joined in the infirmary of the holder Acuna. In contrast, midfielder Guedj is back this week after serving his suspension and the participation of experienced left-back Sergi Escudero, substitute goalkeeper Vaclik and titular right-back Jesus Navas are expected. Now a substitute in the league, the Dutchman Luke De Jong should start for this Copa del Rey match. In the previous round, he scored twice.
The match will be played behind closed doors.
Coaches have the possibility of making 5 substitutions during the game.
Sevilla FC should be able to win at Ameria and thus slip into the last four of the Copa del Rey. Sevilla FC victory!
