Prediction: 1-2
Celta Vigo
A spot in the Copa del Rey last 32 will be at stake when Salamanca and Celta Vigo lock horns at Estadio El Helmantico on Tuesday evening. Os Celeste are seen as hot favourites to win this match, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Borja Iglesias is pushing for a recall to the starting XI as well as Williot Swedberg, while both Daniel De la Torre and Jailson remain in the recovery room.
Jehu Chiapas’ troops, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Celta by beating Alcorcon 1-0, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Tuesday’s clash. As the Galicians are desperate to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Espanyol, we predict that they are going to advance to the next round. Alex Caramelo, who scored as a substitute against Alcorcon, is pushing for a recall to Salamanca’s starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Jonathan Bamba):
After spending his youth career at CS Paris-Charenton, UJA AlfortVille and Saint-Etienne, Jonathan Bamba started playing for Saint-Etienne II at senior level. In 2015 he was given a chance to prove his worth with the first team and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 42 appearances for les Verts in Ligue 1.
Following his loan spells with Paris, Sint-Truiden and Angers, Jonathan Bamba joined Lille in the summer of 2018. The pacey winger born in Alfortville (France) on March 26, 1996, has been playing for les Dogues ever since, but he has yet to earn a cap for the French national team. Nonetheless, Jonathan Bamba has 12 caps with France U21 in which he scored four goals for les Tricolores.
Jonathan Bamba’s main position is left winger, but he is used as a centre-forward as well. The French footballer, whose preferred foot is right, has a contract with Lille until June 30, 2023.
