Our prediction for this Copa del Rey match:
Sparkles will be flying when Ferrol and Sevilla take on each other at Estadio Municipal de Malata in the Copa del Rey last 32. Os Dianos Verdes aim to build on back-to-back wins over Tenerife and Real Valladolid, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the La Liga outfit. A man to watch in the home team will be experienced forward Alvaro Gimenez, who scored the winner against Real Valladolid, while Luca Ferrone remains on the sidelines with injury. Chuca is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, are eager to go all the way in the Spanish Cup and make it to the European competitions. Ferrol, though, are tough to beat at home and that is the main reason why we are going to place our bets on draw. Youssef En-Nesyri is on international duty with Morocco, while all Dodi Lukebakio, Marcos Acuna, Jesus Navas, and Erik Lamela are out of contention 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.
