Prediction: 1-1
Sevilla
Estadio Mendizorrotza will host Tuesday’s Copa del Rey game between Deportivo Alaves and Sevilla. The Basques aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Real Oviedo, but they face an uphill task against the La Liga side. New signing Joaquin Panichelli could make his Alaves debut against Sevilla, while Abdel Abqar is available for selection despite being sent off in the last league match.
Jorge Sampaoli’s men, on the other hand, suffered yet another heart-breaking defeat at the weekend, with the team losing to Girona in Catalonia, and, no doubt, the Andalusians are low on spirits ahead of the trip to Vitoria. Taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the horizon, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. All En Nesyri, Montiel, and Lamela are pushing for a start, while Telles, Papu Gomez, Marcao, Delaney, and Corona missed the Girona game with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Marko Dmitrovic):
A Red Star Belgrade youth prospect, Serbian goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic never got a chance to shine at his boyhood club. The talented shot-stopper was forced to take a longer road to prominence and travelled through Hungary, England and Spain to find his place under the sun. Spells with Ujpest, Charlton Athletic and Alcoron brought nothing but disappointment for the Serbia ‘keeper, who rose to full prominence at Eibar.
Dmitrovic was voted the best player of Eibar for the 2017/18 season after not missing a single league appearance for Los Armeros. Apart from his footballing exploits, Marko Dmitrovic remains remembered for saving Angel Rodriguez Diaz’s life in a game against Getafe.
Dmitrovic was the one to unintentionally knock Angel to the ground after a duel in the box and was also the first one to pull his tongue out when it became apparent that Angel was lying still on the ground. Marko Dmitrovic is Serbia’s second choice goalkeeper who made his debut in 2017. The Eibar custodian was part of Serbia’s World Cup expedition in Russia but did not get a chance in goal with Vladimir Stojkovic being favoured between the sticks.
