Our prediction for this Copa del Rey match:
Andratx and Sevilla face each other at Camp Municipal Sa Plana in the Copa del Rey last 64 in what should be a David vs Goliath clash. Los Sevillanos have slim chances of winning the La Liga title, and seeing that they suffered elimination in the Champions League, we are positive that Julen Lopetegui’s troops will give 100% to go all the way in the Spanish Cup. Even though the former Real Madrid boss should opt to make changes to the starting XI, the La Liga side are widely expected to make it to the last 32.
All Jordn, Rekik, Gudelj, and El Haddadi are pushing for a start, while Ivan Rakitic is back from the La Liga ban. The hosts, on the other hand, did well to shock Real Oviedo in the previous round, but they will have a mountain to climb in Wednesday’s football match. As previously mentioned, David faces Goliath at Camp Municipal Sa Plana, and anything but a routine away win would be a major surprise.
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.
