Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
All eyes will be on Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes when Granada and Sevilla take on each other in the Andalusian derby. Los Granadinos do not seem to be at their sharpest at the moment, with the team collecting only one point in total from the previous five league fixtures. Roberto Moreno’s troops failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Real Socieadad (2-3) and Celta Vigo (0-1), and they are unlikely to shock Sevilla in the local derby.
All Maxime Gonalons, Domingos Duarte, Luis Maximiano, Yan Brice, and Neyder Lozano are sidelined with injuries. Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back wins over Valencia (3-1) and Espanyol (2-0), and even though Thomas Delaney is banned for the match, we are tempted to put our money on the title-chasing visitors. Former Tottenham ace Erik Lamela is pushing for a start.
Highlighted Player (Roberto Soldado):
Roberto Soldado is regarded as one of the most famous footballers in the history of Villarreal. The meaning of his surname in Spanish is “the warrior” and it has to be noted that he began his football career at Real Madrid, playing from the B team between 2002 and 2006. The pacey attacker made 16 appearances and scored two goals for the first team, but he was producing the best performances of his career during his three-year spell at Valencia.
Soldado scored 59 goals in 101 appearances for los Che, but in 2013 he signed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £26 million. The Spanish attacker, who was born on 27 May, 1985 in Valencia, scored for the Spurs on his debut in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, but he netted the goal from the penalty spot.
Soldado failed to impress in the 2014/2015 Premier League campaign with Tottenham and, as a result, he was sold to Villarreal on 14 August, 2015. Speaking of his international career, the Villarreal attacker made his Spain debut in June, 2007 against Latvia.
